Run create refine-app in existing directory

Hi guys 👋 Wanted to ask, I tried to create a new refine-app project using the command npm create refine-app, but couldn't do it to an existing directory. If I don't add a name, it'll provide me a random one, and if I put "." as the name, it's an invalid input. Is it possible and I'm just missing something here?

Answer: It is possible to create a refine-app project using the command npm create refine-app to an existing directory. You can use the command npm create refine-app@latest -- -o refine-antd tutorial to create a refine-app project in an existing directory. SOURCES: ./docs/tutorial/1-getting-started/antd/2-create-project.md, ./docs/getting-started/quickstart.md

OK nevermind I'm dumb, I simply went one dir back and put the name of the directory I have as the directory name and it works. I do think tho that putting "." should work the same way
