How to flutter_rust_bridge_codegen create in current dir . after cloning an empty git repo?

[ath]

I would like to start a new FRB project. I go to Github, create a new repo, clone it to my local machine and now want to call flutter_rust_bridge_codegen create. But I can’t use it one level above my repo, as it will tell me

Error: The target folder "C:/Users/user/my_project" already exists. Please use the integrate command in this case

But I can’t call integrate inside that folder, as there is nothing but a .git folder.
How can I run create, provide a name for my project but specify that everything should be created inside the current . directory?

Hmm, what about firstly use vanilla flutter create to setup a new flutter project on your folder, and then use flutter_rust_bridge_codegen integrate on it

I tried that, i.e. using flutter create and then integrate afterwards, but this is pretty time-consuming. So I wrote me a script that calls flutter_rust_bridge_codegen create and moves all files out of the generated folder one level up.

The “problem” is that the current system is not separating concerns. It complects the act of creation with the place at which files are stored. Probably naming the project and storing its files could be two distinct command line parameters.

Hmm looks reasonable and feel free to PR! (I may not have time for this soon though, since it is not a bug.)
