The command line just said \"Bitters files already installed, doing nothing\", and it took me a while to figure out that it actually wasn't installed, it just saw the existing \"base\" folder and though it was. I think \"base\" is a fairly common folder for certain sass organizational schemes, so it might be helpful to have a more descriptive error message, something along the lines of \"Folder 'base' already exists\"."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/thoughtbot/bitters/issues/comments/104472178","html_url":"https://github.com/thoughtbot/bitters/issues/142#issuecomment-104472178","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/thoughtbot/bitters/issues/142","id":104472178,"user":{"login":"krainboltgreene","id":334809,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/334809?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/krainboltgreene","html_url":"https://github.com/krainboltgreene","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/krainboltgreene/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/krainboltgreene/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/krainboltgreene/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/krainboltgreene/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/krainboltgreene/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/krainboltgreene/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/krainboltgreene/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/krainboltgreene/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/krainboltgreene/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-05-22T01:42:34Z","updated_at":"2015-05-22T01:42:34Z","body":"Like, I just don't get the default being base. \"well accepted practice\"\nimplies that others do it, but I've never seen it and...wouldn't that be\nbad if they did?
