Deno: Suggestion: Add an `--overwrite` option to Deno install command

Created on 7 Feb 2020  路  3Comments  路  Source: denoland/deno

Currently (Deno 0.32.0) manual intervention is required if you run the install command for a previously installed executable. This halts any build tasks that run Deno install until the user presses 'y'.

Or 鈥攆orce ? I think it might be better if we remove the interactive prompt and have it fail - requiring the user to provide -f instead
