Version 2.6.0 doesn't have the error.

ah, whoops. I know why this happened — should get a chance to fix it later today

[jrop]

I am getting the following error in [email protected]:

[assoft]

I have the same problem. Is there anyone to deal with this?

[shvargon]

@assoft Sorry my bad english.

The file lies on the directory above @jrop already made a request for fix pull 179. Although it might be better to copy the file to dist.

[keerthivasan-r]

Instead of code change, can we move the help.md file into dist directory during build. we can leverage rollup-plugin-copy for copying the help.md. What do you think? we will definitely need this feature

plugins: [ copy({ targets: [ { src: 'help.md', dest: 'dist' } ] }) ]

Let me know, I can give a PR

[TMorgan99]

I'm getting this too. It appears the help.md is not in the right place. As a workaround, just avoid using the --help option.

[kfnx]

I'm getting a similar error

my machine use Node v12.18.1 and Mac OS Catalina 10.15.5

Besides that error warning degit command work normally

[davclark]

This still appears to be an issue?
