CLI reference

npx nestlaravel <command> [options]        # no install needed
npm i -D nestlaravel                       # or per-project (create adds it for you)

#Exit codes and safety

• Non-zero on any failed step; errors name the command that failed.
• Names are validated (^[a-z][a-z0-9-]*$), never interpolated into a shell; Windows cmd.exe arguments are quoted and refused if they contain % or newlines.
• Generators refuse to overwrite without --force; update backs up everything it changes and never edits user code (UPGRADING.md).
