shadcn add skip overwrite prompt

[pomber]

I'm building a custom registry. When running npx shadcn add ... and one of the files already exists but isn't identical, the CLI prompts with the question "The file xxx already exists. Would you like to overwrite?":

$ npx shadcn@latest add http://localhost:5000/r/diff.json
✔ Checking registry.
✔ Updating CSS variables in app\globals.css
✔ Installing dependencies.
√ The file code.handlers.tsx already exists. Would you like to overwrite? ... no
√ The file docskit.tsx already exists. Would you like to overwrite? ... no
✔ Created 1 file:
  - components\diff.tsx
ℹ Skipped 7 files: (files might be identical, use --overwrite to overwrite)
  - components\code.tsx
  - components\code.copy.tsx
  - components\code.icon.tsx
  - components\code.config.ts
  - components\code.handlers.tsx
  - components\code.line.tsx
  - components\docskit.tsx

I couldn't find an option to skip that question. In my case, those files should never be overwritten, and are almost always manually edited.

Is it possible to skip it somehow? Can we add a flag for this use case?

yes, there's an option to silent (-s) the prompt, i've updated that feature in PR here - #7783
this is the updated logic -
to overwrite silently => npx shadcn add sheet -so
to skip overwrite silently => npx shadcn add sheet -s

Thanks, that helps.

I think skip and silent are two different things, though. I want to force skip, but still see the logs of what's happening.
