> When creating a new project using the new-project command, forge will offer the current directory as the target location if a project with the same name is found.
> {code}
> $ new-project --named example --topLevelPackage org.example
> ***ERROR*** [/home/dallen/example] already contains a project; please use a different folder.
> Where would you like to create the project? [Press ENTER to use the current directory: dallen]
> {code}
> This default is a recipe for disaster. If there is a project in the way, then using the current directory puts that project *in* the project being created. Additionally, if the current directory is $HOME, then the project will get overlaid in a directory which has many other files and directories.
> A better default is to append a number to the end of the project name. For example:
> {code}
> $ new-project --named example --topLevelPackage org.example
> ***ERROR*** [/home/dallen/example] already contains a project; please use a different folder.
> Where would you like to create the project? [Press ENTER to use an alternative directory: example2]
> {code}
