Command

new

Description

I'm new to Angular and I just started using its CLI, it's easy to use and I appreciate it a lot.

However, I have noticed that it misses ( based on my experience with NextJS CLI) to ask the developer if the project ( folder ) exists and if he is sure that he wants to recreate the project and remove the old files.

STEP 01

ng new my app

STEP 02

Write some code and save the changes.

STEP 03

ng new my app

Expected

The CLI asks that the project name exists.

Current

Create a new project with the same name and replace older files with the new ones.

Describe the solution you'd like

The CLI should inform the developer that the project name exists and recommends alternative names.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Invoke an error and enforce the user to change the name of the project name.
