When running this command to create a React app, it creates the app, but it's also giving me an error. What does this error mean and how do I resolve it?

    Bundles the app into static files for production.

  npm test
    Starts the test runner.

  npm run eject
    Removes this tool and copies build dependencies, configuration files
    and scripts into the app directory. If you do this, you can’t go back!

We suggest that you begin by typing:

  cd mynews-app
  npm start

Happy hacking!

create-react-app assumes you have git installed and configured, and uses git to create a git repository.

Ensure you have git installed on your machine. Run git in your terminal to verify. Install git if it's not installed. Once installed, configure the git user name and email:

$ git config --global user.name "Your Username"
$ git config --global user.email [email protected]
