Repro steps.

when running a command incorrectly we sometimes get a help message advising us how to get help. This is good. However it is not always working.

For example, I make this mistake (--dryrun should be --dry-run)

$ ng g c dashboard/foobar --dryrun
The option '--dryrun' is not registered with the generate command. Run `ng generate --help` for a list of supported options.

ok, so i run ng g —help and my output says ...

The ng generate --help command requires a name to be specified.

so i run $ ng g c —help and there is no output, but it seems there should be
