Starters / CLI

Describe the bug

I created an empty dir, changed into it and ran pnpm create qwik@latest

This failed, because pnpm didn't see a package.json in the directory.

Then I did npm create qwik@latest. This launched the wizard.

Then it asked where to put it, and said I could use . or ./ for the current directory. I did ..

Then it said that the directory . already existed and wasn't empty. I told it to remove and create.

That installed everything but afterwards I was still in the deleted . directory, and I had to do cd $PWD to go into the new directory

Would you be able to copy and paste the entire interaction? I'd like to make sure I understand the incorrect flow. Thanks

Hey @wmertens, thanks for opening this issue, I saw that this steps are working with the latest version of Qwik, btw a lot of things happened during this months. 🚀 So I'm closing this issue for now, feel free to re-open it if it's still an issue for you.
