Adding mock folder

I'm running into issues when attempting to use the follow along teacher's notes:

git clone https://github.com/hdngr/treehouse-express-basics.git express-basics cd express-basics npm install git checkout addingRoutesToTheApp

attempting to clone causes an error regarding an already existing express-basics file that is not empty, while skipping to checkout aborts the command due to the other files being potentially overwritten.

Did I skip a step here, or should I simply delete the existing project and start fresh from the git clone on this video? Thanks for the help!
