feature: cobra-cli should not overwrite an existing main.go file if it already exists

[ethanholz]

When running cobra-cli init on an existing project with a main.go, it will overwrite the main.go. I don't think this behavior should be a default. Could we add functionality to at least move the old file to something like main.go.old?

It should be possible to patch cobra-cli with the PR above, although the lack of a response is concerning. For now I have decided against using cobra-cli due to the lack of activity.

Hmm. Good to know thanks!

This should be extended to the "add" command. I accidentally ran the add command from the shell history and it resulted in me loosing a log of code that I'd implemented. Now I have to try to remember how I implemented and recreate the code best that I can remember.

And by the way, the PR mentioned above was never merged and has been closed so it looks like a fix was attempted but never accepted.
