I'm in the process of developing a react js app, so I decided to set up node js on my Windows machine and ran the command: npm install -g create-react-app
in the directory 'C:\Users\Desktop\ReactDemo'. However, the result placed the newly created directory at AppData\Romaing\npm\create-react-app.
I was surprised to see the app created in a different directory. My understanding was that if I create an empty directory and initialize git from there using the command line, that directory would then become a git repository. Am I mistaken?
Likewise, I assumed that by creating an empty directory and initializing it with react-js flavor, it would turn into a functional react-js app. Instead, a new directory was created. Can anyone provide guidance on how to transform a normal directory into a working react-js directory?
