Description

Does the CLi support the build flag (-b for tsc)? It seems not.... I'm trying to setup a project with TypeScript project references... any help?

$ nest build --help
Usage: nest build [options] [app]

  -p, --path [path]     Path to tsconfig file
  -w, --watch           Run in watch mode (live-reload)
  --webpack             Use webpack for compilation
  --webpackPath [path]  Path to webpack configuration

Research direction

Start with the nest build command and its help output, then compare the available options with TypeScript's tsc -b and project references documentation. Done means the CLI supports the requested build behavior and its help text documents the option; verify the result with a representative project-reference setup.
