How does commander.silent work?

The commander.silent() method is used to disable the output of any messages to the console that would otherwise be printed during command execution. It sets the silent flag to true which prevents any output from being printed to the console.

const { Command } = require("commander");
const program = new Command();

program.option("-v, --verbose", "Enable verbose logging").silent(); // Disable output for this command.parse(process.argv);

console.log(`Verbose logging enabled: ${program.verbose}`);

In this example, we create a new Command instance and define an option -v that enables verbose logging. We then call the silent() method to disable output for this command. Finally, we parse the command-line arguments and log whether verbose logging is enabled or not. Because we called silent(), there will be no output from commander itself.
