How to avoid creating a container, when
distrobox entercommand executed, but the container does not exist?The default behavior now seems to be creating a new container according to distrobox.conf, which is actually rather clumsy as a default action.
In that regard, there should be a
--create-if-not-existing-type of flag instead to trigger the creation in this case. Especially since there seems to be no obvious way to check if a particular container exists.Now the default behavior induces creation of unnecessary containers, when for example typoing a container name.
