Summary

  • Adds a tip after the install command showing how to pass --force to overwrite an existing Shorebird installation
  • The correct syntax is | bash -s -- --force (not | bash --force, which passes --force to bash itself)

Closes #423

Test plan

  • Verify the tip renders correctly on the docs site

When piping the install script to bash, users often try `| bash --force`
which doesn't work. Add a tip showing the correct `| bash -s -- --force`
syntax.

Closes #423
