Bug description

I have switched from Valet to Herd, without migrating - complete fresh installation.

When creating a new project site within Herd using the herd.yml configuration file, Herd also creates a site for the project folder, which is problematic for any work that has a folder with the same name.

For instance if I was to build multiple Todo apps for clients, and have a client folder with each app inside a folder called Todos - I can only create one site within Herd.

An example configuration from a site within a folder called Todos:

name: client1-todos
php: '8.3'
secured: true
aliases:
  - api.client1-todos
  - frontend.client1-todos
services:
  mysql:
    version: 8.0.36
    port: '${DB_PORT}'
  redis:
    version: 7.0.0
    port: '${REDIS_PORT}'
integrations:
  forge: { }

Herd will run when calling herd init and create three sites

• api.client1-todos.test
• frontend.client1-todos.test
• and Todos.test

This is quite frustrating and unworkable, as if I try and add client2 with a folder called Todos, then Herd will fail.

Is there anyway to not create the unnecessary root folder with a flag in the herd.yml?
