Reactjs – How to create react app in the existing github repository

I was given access to the github repository which is currently completely empty. When I git clone it, I just receive the empty folder, no files. So when I create react app it also creates its folder so I basically have folder inside github repo folder.

what I want is to be able to have all my react files inside the cloned folder. Should I just create react app and move all the files to the github repo folder or what’s the best practice?

Thanks

    If that directory is empty, then simply go one level up, and specify that directory as the target of create-react-app

    npx create-react-app <your_dir>

    That will create files inside (empty) preexisting directory.
