create-nx-workspace does not work in devcontainer

Current Behavior

I never run npm stuff outside a container for security reasons

I have create a new folder with vscode and put 4 files: .devcontainer/devcontainer.json .devcontainer/docker-compose.yml .devcontainer/Dockerfile .devcontainer/postCreateCommand.sh

Then I opened the folder in dev container mode (microsoft node image with node 20)

Then I ran npx create-nx-workspace Answered the first question (which directory to use) with . because I want my package.json, nx.json etc. in the root of the directory

NX shows error That folder is already taken

Expected Behavior

create-nx-workspace should use the folder I want
