Moving react app created with create react app to another computer

Question

I used Create React App to create a React application on one computer. No problem. But how do I move the code to another computer (i.e. the entire folder structure) if I want to continue developing on another computer. I have node installed and I have installed Create React App on the second computer (with the -g tag, etc. But just moving the react application folders over to the second computer doesn't seem to work. That is, npm start fails. Any ideas? It must be that I have to do something to the app on the second computer with Create React App. What is it that I have to do? I want to preserve and use my code on this second computer and continue developing (moving from Windows to Mac). Thanks.

Answer 1

there are some ways to copy your project to another computer

1. use git: you can use git hub to push your react project into a repository then you can clone that repository on another computer. note: use npm install after cloning the repository on another computer as it doesn't include node modules

2. share a compressed file: you can compress your react app folder and transfer it to another computer extract it to use it

Answer 2

Use git. you can use git to upload project, then unload project on a second computer, create a branch and continue working. After unloading, you need to run the npm install command.
