"npx create-abell-app ." not working.

"npx create-abell-app ." not working, is this intensional or should we need to add this feature.
I don't have any other project with the same name.

So the format of the command is npx create-abell-app <project-name> In your case, you're giving dot as a project name.

In file system dot refers to the current directory and the current directory exists

Right way to run the command would be npx create-abell-app my-cool-app

But I wanted to run the create-abell-app in the current empty dir, like that of "c:/user/desktop/react-demo/ npx create-react-app .", I think you get it.

How about adding this feature? @saurabhdaware

Oh got it! How does create-react-app handles this case?

So currently we just check if the directory exists. Further I think we can check if the directory is empty or not. and if it is empty, we can continue the process.

Now you got it, Can I try this?

Yup makes sense to add this! The code is in the https://github.com/abelljs/create-abell-app if you're interested in contributing 🥳

@saurabhdaware, In this case, I need to look for the "." argument right? and then check if any other file exists in currDir.
