I would recommend using create-react-app to build this project. Run the command, cd into the directory then start the app.

npx create-react-app name_of_app
cd name_of_app
npm start

This will be good enough for development, and you can add all your components into the src/ folder. Here's the documentation for how to start building react web apps.

To get the production build (which I think is what you're trying to go for), run npm run build which will save the build in the build/ folder.

Any time you use a different machine, just pull the project from github and run npm i. I'm assuming that you were talking about the package.json file. This shouldn't be a big deal if you set everything up correctly.
