There was a problem hiding this comment.
Not sure how to test with empty . folder without release, but all other cases works well, especially installing to random empty folder which I think is almost the same as empty . folder

Summary
Closes #402
npx create-eth .now scaffolds into the current directory instead of failing withmkdir: .: File existsDirectory /path is not emptycd .instruction in the outro message when.is usedHow it works
When the target directory already exists (e.g.
.), we skipmkdirand instead check if the directory is empty. If it contains any files, we error out to prevent overwriting existing projects.This follows the same approach as
create-next-app, which also supports.as the project path and checks for an empty directory before proceeding.Test plan
create-eth .in an empty directory → scaffolds successfullycreate-eth .in a non-empty directory → errors with "Directory is not empty"create-eth my-project→ works as before (unchanged path)🤖 Generated with Claude Code
