How can I convert an existing project to angular-cli?

Question

I just tried ng2-admin and it's looking great; all of the features are really good. How can I convert this project to angular-cli?

I tried with ng init, but it is overwriting the existing code in the app folder. How can I convert this project to angular-cli without any impact?

It's not going to be quite that straightforward, as you have additional dependencies and the CLI handles webpack configuration in a different way. Create a ng new project then migrate code across, rather than trying to convert in-place. — jonrsharpe

just create project in angular-cli and than put your all code in app folder src/app folder. import external dependencies if your project have.

This is what I did when changing over to angular-cli aswell - the only extra thing that I can contribute here is that to make sure that any assets and global scripts are defined into the angular-cli.json file
