title: Firebase: error: unknown option `--public'
body: <p>I am using <a href="https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/cloud-firebase-chat/#2" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a> tutorial, after I successfully login to Firebase, I need to set the root dir. So as the tutorial instructs, I run:</p>
  
  <p><code>~/firebase-webchat$ firebase init --public .</code></p>
  
  <p>However, I get the following error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>error: unknown option `--public'</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Does anyone know what command I should be using?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
