Research direction

Start by reproducing npm install -g yo generator-code with Node.js v22.12.0 and npm 11.0.0 on Windows 11, then inspect the dependency tree for npmlog, gauge, are-we-there-yet, and boolean. Done means the installation no longer reports these deprecated packages or the affected dependencies have documented replacements.

Description

Hello,

I encountered several deprecation warnings while installing yo and generator-code globally using npm install -g yo generator-code. Below are the details:

Steps to Reproduce:

Run the command: npm install -g yo generator-code
Observe the output.

Warnings:
npm WARN deprecated npmlog@2.0.4: This package is no longer supported.
npm WARN deprecated gauge@1.2.7: This package is no longer supported.
npm WARN deprecated are-we-there-yet@1.1.7: This package is no longer supported.
npm WARN deprecated boolean@3.2.0: Package no longer supported. Contact Support at https://www.npmjs.com/support for more info.

Node.js version: v22.12.0
npm version: 11.0.0
OS: Windows 11

These warnings seem to come from dependencies used by the package. It would be great if the deprecated packages could be replaced or updated to ensure long-term support and compatibility.

Thank you!
