i have an existing project folder that contains project assets, some text files, &c. and we're having to use React on this one. when i run create-react-app . or npx create-react-app <folder>, it errors out saying i have to remove existing files because 'they might conflict'. SMH. how do i override this behaviour and force it to deploy? because i'm not doing this for every project we do...
and, no, this post has nothing useful to offer.
