Angular cli for existing github project

I'm new to Angular 2 CLI. As per tutorial, there is command provided called ng create <project_name>. My scenario is creating project in existing directory.

It throws error like below:

Directory 'angular-basic' already exists.

Solution

  • Try ng init will create project inside your existing directory then do ng serve.

    ng init <project-name> [options]
Creates a new Angular project in the current folder.

Options:
 --dry-run only output the files created and operations performed, do
 not actually create the project.

 Alias: 'd'.
 --verbose output more information.

 Alias: 'v'.
 --skip-npm do not run any npm command once the project is created.
 --name The name of the project to create.

    For New Angular 2.x Project

    ng new foo
cd foo
npm link angular-cli
ng serve
