How to get variables escaped when using a cli to pass hook options

[simple-beck]

npx release-it --hooks.after:release="echo Successfully released ${name} v${version} to ${repo.repository}."

This would just strip off the variables part as arguments get passed to the module. I tried escaping using single quotes -> nothing helps. I would appreciate if someone has a working solution

This seems to work:

npx release-it --'hooks.after:release="echo Successfully released ${name} v${version} to ${repo.repository}."'

So single-quote the argument as a whole. It isn't pretty indeed! Better suggestions are welcome of course. By the way, release-it uses yargs-parser for this, but it doesn't mention colons.
