You're about to initialize a Firebase project in this directory:

  /Users/inlined/git/junkdrawer

Before we get started, keep in mind:

  * You are initializing in an existing Firebase project directory


=== Project Setup

First, let's associate this project directory with a Firebase project.
You can create multiple project aliases by running firebase use --add,
but for now we'll just set up a default project.

i  .firebaserc already has a default project, using inlined-junkdrawer.

=== Remoteconfig Setup
? What file should be used for your Remote Config template? remoteconfig.template.json
? File remoteconfig.template.json already exists. Do you want to overwrite the existing Remote Config template? No

i  Writing configuration info to firebase.json...
i  Writing project information to .firebaserc...

✔  Firebase initialization complete!
$ cat remoteconfig.template.json
$ # nothing printed
