  1. Create a new project
  2. cd into folder
  3. ng serve --aot --output-path=./

The log given by the failure.

I know I was wrong with this output-path, but I wouldn't think it is the correct way to delete the working directory if the output-path is null. Anyways, can someone give me an advice how to restore my project? It was only in a local repo... (yeah I know...)
