Describe the bug

Bug Report: Unable to Create Vite Project without Answering CLI Questions

Description:
I am attempting to create a new Vite project using the provided example commands and passing all the necessary parameters, as mentioned in the documentation. However, I am encountering an issue where the CLI prompts me for additional information despite passing the required parameters.

Environment:

Version: create-vite 4.3.2
Operating System: Windows 10 10.0.19045
npm version: 9.7.1
node version: v18.16.0
PowerShell: PowerShell 7.4.0-preview.3

Reproduction Steps:

Open PowerShell.
Execute the following command: npm create vite@latest my-vue-app -- --template vue
Observe the CLI prompts that appear, even though all parameters have been passed.

Expected Behavior:
I expected the Vite project creation process to proceed without any prompts or questions, as I passed all the necessary parameters while following the example commands and the documentation.

Actual Behavior:
Instead of creating the project directly, the CLI prompts me for additional information. This behavior is inconsistent with the documentation and the expected behavior. I have attached screenshots of the prompts that appear despite passing the parameters.

Screenshots:

Additional Information:
I have attempted different variations of the commands, but I consistently encounter the same problem. This issue prevents me from creating a new Vite project without manual intervention during the CLI process.

This is how powershell works. Powershell treats -- special for its own syntax.

A workaround is to use "--" or --- instead. For example, npm create vite@latest my-vue-app --- --template vue.

Closing as this is not a bug in Vite.
