Description
Which project does this relate to?
Create Tanstack App
Describe the feature
Currently, when running
pnpm create @tanstack/start@latestand specifying a directory name that already exists (for example, an existing Next.js project folder), the setup proceeds and installs TanStack Start inside that directory — even if it is not empty.
It would be helpful to have a check to detect if the target directory already exists and is not empty, and show a warning or confirmation prompt before continuing. This would help prevent accidental overwriting of existing files or projects.
Example
$ pnpm create @tanstack/start@latest test
⚠️ The directory "test" already exists and is not empty.
Do you want to continue? (y/N)Why This Is Needed
This feature would improve safety and developer experience by preventing users from unintentionally installing TanStack Start into non-empty folders.
