> NOTE: Yargs is a fork of [optimist](https://github.com/substack/node-optimist) by [substack (James Halliday)](https://github.com/substack). It is obvious that substack is stretched pretty thin maintaining over 300 modules on npm at the time of this writing. So rather than complain in the project issue tracker I thought I'd just pick up the torch and maintain a proper fork. Currently the project is totally backward compatible with optimist but this may change in the future (if it does I will update this notice to inform you of this). For now though, enjoy optimist with about 5 months worth of fixes rolled in.
