PROJECT_ALREADY_INITIALIZED

The folder already has a `nextly.config.ts`, so `nextly init` did not overwrite it.

Cause

The folder already has a nextly.config.ts, so nextly init did not overwrite it.

nextly init writes nextly.config.ts and the folders beside it. It stops rather than overwrite a configuration that is already there, which may hold your collections.

Fix

  • Keep the existing configuration: the project is already set up, and nextly init has nothing to add.
  • To start again from the defaults, run nextly init --force. It overwrites nextly.config.ts, so commit or copy the file first.

Example

✗ Nextly is already initialized in this directory.
  Why:  /home/you/app/nextly.config.ts already exists.
  Next: Use `--force` to overwrite the existing configuration.
