dude, are you for real ? just read the bloody thread instead of blindly asking the same question I did 2 weeks ago

command ng new --src=. returns:

The option ‘–src’ is not registered with the new command. Run ng new --help for a list of supported options. The “ng new” command requires a name argument to be specified. For more details, use “ng help”.

When I am creating a new project I am getting the follwoing and nothing created. Installed/Reinstalled angular2-eclipse and no changes. \Ang2Prj>ng init The specified command init is invalid. For available options, see ng help.

I used ng new my-app command and it works fine

@Brocco Thanks for the quick response! I’m just glad that its on the road map for future releases!

@hieutranagi47 To create an angular project from an existing blank git repository, just run “ng new [your-git-name]” in the parent folder. It will generate the files inside the existing folder and skip git init. All fine after that…

“ng init” is one of awesome solution to create a project from blank git repository, but, from now, we must create a project first, then init git later. so sad!

Closing this as fixed. You can also call ng new --src=. which may or may not overwrite some files. Use with caution, but it could get you started.
