Description

Describe the bug
When using the -C flag for lagoon ssh, only the first word is being sent as the command

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. lagoon ssh -p -e main
  2. Now connected to container: drush status
  3. Notice working drush status output
  4. CTRL-D - out of container
  5. lagoon ssh -p -e main -C "drush status"
  6. Notice drush "help" output - "status" seemingly not set

Expected behavior
The full command is sent and executed
