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!

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.
