This seems to be a known bug of npm cli with powershell. The workaround is to replace the first -- with --- like so:

npm create bati --- --vue --tailwindcss --authjs --ts-rest --express --prisma --google-analytics --eslint --sentry

[magne4000]

I'm closing the issue for now. If I see other issues regarding powershell+npm usage, I'll have to update the Web UI accordingly.

[magne4000]

Nevermind, --- also works on linux, so I'll just update the UI accordingly
