`init` usage is unclear

❯ electron-forge
✔ Checking your system

  Usage: electron-forge [options] [command]


  Commands:

    init        Initialize a new Electron application
    import      Attempts to navigate you through the process of importing an existing project to "electron-forge"
    lint        Lints the current Electron application
    package     Package the current Electron application
    make        Generate distributables for the current Electron application
    start       Start the current Electron application
    publish     Publish the current Electron application to GitHub
    install     Install an Electron application from GitHub
    help [cmd]  display help for [cmd]

  Options:

    -h, --help     output usage information
    -V, --version  output the version number
    --verbose      Enables verbose mode

I tried init without commands:

~/zeke master*
❯ electron-forge init
✔ Checking your system

  electron-forge-init(1) does not exist, try --help

I tried init with --help:

~/zeke master*
❯ electron-forge init --help
✔ Checking your system

  electron-forge-init(1) does not exist, try --help

I tried help init

~/zeke master*
❯ electron-forge help init  
✔ Checking your system

  electron-forge-init(1) does not exist, try --help

Suggestions:

When init is invoked incorrectly, show usage / examples.

Allow electron-forge init --help or similar to be used to find out how the command works.

If this ends up happening to anyone else, I was trying to install electron-forge globally with Yarn and it looks like it has to be done with NPM specifically for some reason.

npm install -g electron-forge

It’s working! 🎈

All the various incantations are fixed:
