Workspace Folder Initialization to Distinguish Between Empty and Non-empty Directories

[kedarchandrayan]

Description

In the current version of Sirji, it is not aware of existing files in the workspace folder, unless specified in the problem statement. Due to this, it defaults to a greenfield development rather than building up on the existing code.

To better accommodate both scenarios (new projects and continuation of existing projects), Sirji should be enhanced to recognize whether a selected workspace folder is empty or not and respond appropriately:

• Case 1: Empty Workspace Folder

  • If the workspace folder is selected and found to be empty, treat it as the beginning of a new greenfield development project. This scenario is suitable for users wishing to start a fresh project.

• Case 2: Non-empty Workspace Folder

  • If the workspace folder is selected and found to have existing files and folders, prompt the user with a confirmation message. This message should inform them that they are about to work in a non-empty workspace. It is essential to alert the user to prevent unintentional modification of existing files.

Expected Behavior After Enhancement:

• If the user confirms the dialogue about a non-empty workspace, Sirji should proceed with accessing the existing files, allowing the user to build upon them.
• If the workspace is empty or the user confirms starting anew, the project will be treated as a greenfield development.
