Description
Current Behavior:
to figure out what the ci
command does, I tried npm ci --help
, which outputs
npm ci
Usage:
npm ci
aliases: clean-install, ic, install-clean, isntall-clean
Run "npm ci help" for more info
So, to figure out what is meant by a "clean" install, I tried to get "more info" using npm ci help
. However, ci
doesn't actually support the help
sub-sub-command. If you try to do that, you wind up actually running a clean install as if you had just done npm ci
.
Expected Behavior:
There are two possibilities. One is to actually support npm ci help
by outputting a more detailed help message. The other is to simply remove the last two lines of output from npm ci --help
, so that it is accurate.
I favor the former, because I still don't know what a "clean" install is - can anyone tell me?
Steps To Reproduce:
npm ci --help
- Follow the instructions that outputs to try to obtain more information.
