`create-choo-app choo` fails #31

Closed majgis closed 6 years ago

Taking choo for my first test drive, I stumbled over calling the project choo and thinking I had a bad connection or there was bug unrelated to the new project name:

$ ls choo
ls: cannot access 'choo': No such file or directory

hi @majgis ! actually it's an npm thing: you can't create a project with the same name as one of its dependencies. i.e. you also can't name a react app "react"

Thank you. Now that you mention it, I vaguely recall hitting this issue before in a different context. Thank you for shedding light.
