Usage: biome COMMAND ...

Available options:
    -h, --help     Prints help information
    -V, --version  Prints version information

Available commands:
    version        Prints the Biome CLI version and information about the connected daemon server,
                   if any, then exits.
    upgrade        Upgrades Biome to the latest stable version.
    rage           Prints a troubleshooting report with CLI, platform, environment, configuration,
                   workspace, and daemon server information.
    start          Starts the Biome daemon server used for integration with third-party clients,
                   such as editor extensions.
    stop           Stops the Biome daemon server if it is running.
    check          Checks the specified files for formatting, linting, and assist actions.
    lint           Runs the linter on the specified files.
    format         Formats the specified files.

                   modifying files.
