Usage information shows something like 'index.js develop' instead of 'gatsby develop'

Relevant information

When I took a look at the usage of gatsby, it showed something like this

$ gatsby --help
Usage: index.js <command> [options]

Commands:
  index.js develop                   Start development server. Watches files, rebuilds, and hot reloads if something changes  index.js build                     Build a Gatsby project.
  index.js serve                     Serve previously built Gatsby site.
  index.js new [rootPath] [starter]  Create new Gatsby project.

Options:
  --verbose      Turn on verbose output                                                           [boolean] [default: false]  --no-color     Turn off the color in output                                                     [boolean] [default: false]  -h, --help     Show help                                                                                         [boolean]  -v, --version  Show version number                                                                               [boolean]

They should be gatsby instead of index.js.

Environment (if relevant)

• Gatsby version (npm list gatsby): gatsby@1.9.149
• gatsby-cli version (gatsby --version): 1.1.53
• Node.js version: v8.11.2
• Operating System: Windows 10 (1803)

I’m at gatsby-cli@1.1.58 and I’m not seeing index.js. Can you try upgrading and see if it fixes?

I took a look at the code. It uses $0 to fetch the command name dynamically and I also see some discussions on this in yargs issues. Why don't we use gatsby instead of $0? The name won't change anyway.

[m-allanson]

Thank for the report @LujunWeng! It seems there's an open PR to fix this in yargs: yargs/yargs#1143. Waiting for that to be merged seems like a good fix here.

[PhiLhoSoft]

I came here looking if this has been already reported, as I noticed this too.

As a heads up, it seems the yargs issue has been merged some days ago.

Minor problem, but good to see it addressed... 😄

Due to the high volume of issues, we're closing out older ones without recent activity. Please open a new issue if you need help!

gatsby-cli v2.4.2, I still see the issue.
