getstorybook is destructive

[leebenson]

Running getstorybook inside an existing Storybook'd folder will destructively overwrite .stories.

I learned that the hard way when a custom webpack config I spent 3 hours working on wound up getting killed 👍

If this is intentional, it might be worth adding an 'Are you sure?' prompt.

By default, getstorybook won't allow you to run inside already initiated project.
You only can do it by adding the -f flag.
Even if you do so, git diff is your friend.

Is this happening without the -f flag?

[leebenson]

I didn't commit the prior version, so git diff unfortunately didn't save the day...

Yes, it happened without the -f flag.

This might be because I moved the stories folder to src/stories (to fit better with my code layout), but I left .storybook intact.

[arunoda]

It detect that using package.json and looking for @kadira/storybook.
It's pretty hard to happen this without -f

I'll close this since I don't recall the exact steps that led to this error. If it comes up again, I'll try to be more explicit in reproducing it.
