Ah interesting. Could you open another issue? It’s a bit different from this one

No let’s keep it open and do this:

• check at the beginning if the folder already exists, and if so ask if we should continue
• If we continue, then we can just ignore errors on git init and git remote add
• we should also perhaps change the commit message to not be First commit.
