feat: Have a good interaction when executing `envd init`

Describe the feature
When creating a project and initializing it with envd init
, the user forgets that it has been initialized before and the file build.envd
already exists. At this time the user executes envd init
, envd will first ask the user to select the programming language and throw an error after the selection:
error: build.envd already exists, use --force to overwrite it
So I think it makes more sense to first check if build.envd
exists, instead of first letting the user choose the programming language. Then the user is prompted to use --force
to override the original, or to run envd up
to start.
Why do you need this feature?
In my humble opinion, when build.envd
exists at the root of the project, it doesn't make sense to first select a programming language and then throw an error, it's a better interaction to first check if build.envd
exists and remind the user if the previous one is overwritten with --force
Additional context
for example, when I exec envd init
in the demo, but I forgot that I had initialized it with envd. So I had to re-execute the command I wanted to operate. In this process, the operation of selecting the programming language is meaningless.
If it does make sense, I'd be interested in optimizing this prompt
