📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Updated Nuxt CLI documentation for template generation, module installation and removal, profiling, cleanup, preview ports, and typechecker selection. Added nuxt add-template examples. Updated command source links to the Nuxt CLI 3.x branch.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~15 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to caf85

The updated CLI documentation still omits required option values in the build and typecheck references and overstates prompting behavior, which could mislead users configuring commands. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to correct these bounded documentation issues.

Keep the preset value in the synopsis and option table.

preset is a string option, but both entries omit its value placeholder. Use --preset=<preset>.

Show the value required by --checker.

Document --checker as [--checker=<vue-tsc|golar>]. The option is a string that accepts vue-tsc or golar, not a valueless flag.

Limit the install prompt claim to interactive terminals.

When no checker is installed, the CLI prompts for installation only in an interactive terminal. In non-TTY mode, it prints installation instructions and exits without prompting.

Both command tables allow one or more module names, but both usage lines show only one positional placeholder. Make the positional argument optional and repeatable in both command synopses.
