Let's track this here #1847

This issue was not resolved by the above PR, apparently, because commands like yarn nest start sync -- --syncType=employees still fail with the error error: unknown option '--syncType'. I assume from reading the start.command file that this is because commander is not being called with allowUnknownOption enabled. I will try to make a PR to enable that.
