what is your zsh theme??
I was wondering when i came across this line: args[1].slice("--name=")[1] For me this does not work as expected. Is there some hidden magic i am missing, since as far as i know slice expects an startIndex as number?
If I change the code to:
const nameOption = '--name='; const name = args[1].slice(nameOption.length);
Than everything works as expected. Can please someone confirm or explain?

The instructor uses .split instead of .slice which might be where the confusion is coming from?
