✨  Done in 0.10s.

Then run from any directory on the file system:

$ create-repo-ts-node-issue
? Who is your favorite Teletubby? (Use arrow keys)
...

So far, so good.

Using yarn create: 🥀

yarn create is a very handy shortcut to bootstrap projects. When running yarn create thingy, yarn will globally install a package called create-thingy then run its executable located in bin, so in theory, it should be very similar to run the yarn linked version.

To achieve this, I had to publish this repo into the create-repro-ts-node-issue npm package.

Then when running the yarn create command, we get:

$ yarn create repro-ts-node-issue
# Coming soon...
