Suggest: cobra-cli should detect `main.go` file wether exists or not

[amone-bit]

When I use cobra-cli init, it will overwrite my main.go file. Suggest first detect main.go file wether exists or not rather than overwrite it directly. I think it is dangerous, if main.go file has something important content.

Since cobra-cli init is meant for project initialization, why would there already be a main.go file in the directory before running this command? Could you share the specific use cases where avoiding overwriting is necessary?

Because my project has be initialized, I just need cobra-cli to help me generate some cli files like cmd/root.go. My project has it's main.go file. Firstly, my project dont need cli, but as development progressed, I realized the need for a command-line interface. So I use cobra-cli to help me generate cli files fastly.

wow, it's so cool.
Can you get the desired result if you use the add command directly?

It have a problem: If I use cobra-cli add aaa command, I need to mkdir cmd dir firstly.

Maybe cobra-cli should help us create cmd dir, if that dont exist.

I don’t think it’s necessary for the CLI to create the cmd directory for us. Here are the two reasons:
In terms of responsibility assignment: Creating the cmd directory should be the job of the init command.
In terms of security risks: If the add command automatically creates the cmd directory, it will lead to the unintended creation of a cmd directory even when the command is executed in an abnormal file path (e.g., a non-project directory).
Considering both functionality and security, I believe the add command should not be responsible for creating the cmd directory.

Maybe you are right, but I think at least cobra-cli init command should alert it will overwrite main.go. If it overwrite main.go directly, something in the main.go file will be lost.

It has cause my two main.go files be lost.

U are right. 你是对的。 Canaan ***@***.***

Verify all CLI init dependencies first. Prompt the executor if any file is existing. Canaan ***@***.***
