Description
When teaching a class an attendee typed in chef client. This happened after I showed them chef generate. I helped them find the correct command and we continued the training.
However, I thought about and it seems like it would be something that chef could also support. Calling out to the original chef-client and passing on any of the training arguments (ARGV.shift) to the command.
chef-client is often run with sudo so that would be a little different than the normal workflow but I think that this would make the tools seem more unified.

Research direction
Start by locating the Ruby entry point for the chef command and reviewing how chef generate is dispatched. Determine how the proposed chef client invocation should forward training arguments to chef-client, including the different sudo workflow. Done means the command behavior and privilege expectations are defined and covered by appropriate CLI tests.
