 If you are on Windows using Git Bash with minTTY, the interactive prompts will not work. You must launch the command as `winpty vue.cmd create hello-world`.
 If you however want to still use the `vue create hello-world` syntax, you can alias the command by adding the following line to your `~/.bashrc` file.
