SourcePlugin fails to get command line arguments when using entryPointStrategy packages

Expected Behavior

Typedoc should report error when only --disableGit is provided and entryPointStrategy is set to packages.

Actual Behavior

The command succeeds as --disableGit has not been set.

The problem does not occur when removing typedoc.json or using entryPointStrategy other than packages.

Steps to reproduce the bug

The repo for reproducing the bug: https://github.com/doitian/typedoc-source-plugin-issue

pnpm install
pnpm typedoc --disableGit

Environment

• Typedoc version: 0.25.6
• TypeScript version: 5.2.2
• Node.js version: 21.5.0
• OS: macOS 14.2.1

This is working as expected -- packages mode works by effectively running TypeDoc in each of your packages with the typedoc configuration in that package, and then merging the results together. This is so that each package can have custom options.

CLI arguments are not read by each package because configuration like --out or --json are commonly provided on the command line, and only apply to the final generation.

More Context

I attempted to run typedoc in Vercel but could not get the source link work. However, I discovered that the git directory and git command are still accessible in the Vercel build environment. Unfortunately, Vercel does not automatically add the git remote for the repository. To resolve this, I can set the appropriate git remote for Vercel. For instance, I can do this in the typedoc.config.js file.

if (process.env.VERCEL !== undefined) {
  const { execSync } = require("node:child_process");
  const remote = `https://github.com/${process.env.VERCEL_GIT_REPO_OWNER}/${process.env.VERCEL_GIT_REPO_SLUG}.git`;
  execSync(`git remote add origin ${remote}`);
}
