Repro steps

• ng new project-name

Observed behavior

pc@mantyz:~/dev/node$ ng new project-name
This command can not be run inside of a CLI project.

Desired behavior

Angular-cli must create a project.

Mention any other details that might be useful (optional)

ng new work with cli v6.0.0-rc.6 The project is successfully created relative to the “/”(root) directory, but is not created relative to the “/home/username” and subdir.

@dimitrijuchtmans, thank you. Yea, the directory “/home/username” contained an angular cli.json file.

On RC9, I can confirm this is still happening. Had to remove the .angular.json file in my home directory to get it to work.
