They were removed with this commit: https://github.com/TanStack/cli/commit/337eebaafa190de96194910b6c8c9e550ca142fc\n\nCurrently, running the command: `npx @tanstack/cli@latest create my-tanstack-app --no-tailwind` generates the following error: `error: unknown option '--no-tailwind'`.\n\n### If This Was An Intended Change\n\nThis makes the CLI out of sync with the [CLI Reference](https://tanstack.com/cli/latest/docs/cli-reference) and some of the CLI-aliases README.md's like [ts-create-start](https://github.com/TanStack/cli/blob/a72ae49d81fb5ca7f800bdf6804ac4435ef065d1/cli-aliases/ts-create-start/README.md?plain=1#L34), which uses the command `pnpm create @tanstack/start@latest my-app --tailwind`.\n\nMoreover, it also makes it out of sync with the [Tanstack Builder Tool](https://tanstack.com/builder?file=src%2Froutes%2F__root.tsx). \n\nFinally, it seems to reverse the PR merged last month by jherr which makes *no tailwind a legit option*: https://github.com/TanStack/cli/pull/151. That PR intended to make opting out of tailwind quick and easy. Currently, without a `--no-tailwind` flag, you're back to doing manual work to remove tailwind from a project, leading to a worse DX.\n\n### If This was Not An Intended Change\n\nPlease reverse it! 😄\n\n### Your Example Website or App\n\nN/A\n\n### Steps to Reproduce the Bug or Issue\n\n`npx @tanstack/cli@latest create my-tanstack-app --no-tailwind`\n\n### Expected behavior\n\nN/A\n\n### Screenshots or Videos\n\n_No response_\n\n### Platform\n\nN/A\n\n### Additional context\n\n_No response_","author":{"url":"https://github.com/ahmed33033","@type":"Person","name":"ahmed33033"},"datePublished":"2026-02-16T03:52:50Z","url":"https://github.com/TanStack/cli/issues/375"}
