There is already a git repository in the directory. I see only <pre class="prettyprint"><code>meteor create </code></pre> command which creates a new directory.

If you're just trying to create a new Meteor project, rename the original directory, run <code>meteor create</code>, merge the two directories, then run <code>git add .; git commit -a;</code> If you want to pull Meteor from GitHub, just add it as a git submodule.

How to create a new Meteor project in an existing directory?

There is already a git repository in the directory. I see only

meteor create

command which creates a new directory.

$ meteor create .

I started with a git repo that had a README.md file in there. The above command worked like a charm.

I'm running Meteor 1.2.0.2.
