short options use the same arguments as the long ones

Yeah, we also have the package storybook, so I think we’re going to switch to that instead:

npx storybook init

This will have the same problem, if somebody installs a binary called storybook in their path. But I think that’s a much lower possibility than sb, which looks like it’s a built-in utility in some linux distributions

Why did you guys remove the steps to manually install storybook into a project.

so ways to fix this problem:

• update the documentation in the screenshot above with something like : npx --package <storybook-package-that-provides-the-sb-command sb init
• just outline the steps to manually setup storybook (preferred).
