npm init quasar really deletes everything

What happened?

When trying to get started with a project (again), I executed npm init quasar for the current directory. While I expected the installation to eventually delete / overwrite the existing README.md, I was more than surprised that it also removed the unrelated .git directory.

node:fs:1213
  return handleErrorFromBinding(ctx);
         ^

I strongly belive that's not an ideal solution.

What did you expect to happen?

Ignore existing .git directry.

Reproduction URL

How to reproduce?

mkdir my-project
cd my-project
touch README.md
git add README.md
git commit -m "Initial commit"
npm quasar init
... Project folder: … .
... Current directory is not empty. Remove existing files and continue? … yes

I know it says Remove existing files and continue? but having to reinititate git or to move the result to a directory already having a git history seems not that helpful.
