react-native-start: Start the server in a custom port (defaults to 8081).
$ react-native start --port ${3000}
try on your machine

This command is used to start the Metro bundler server for a React Native application on a specific port.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • react-native start: This is the command to start the Metro bundler server for the React Native application.
  • --port: This is an option to specify the port number for the server to listen on.
  • ${3000}: This is a placeholder value for the port number. In this case, it is set to 3000.

So, when you run react-native start --port ${3000}, it will start the Metro bundler server and make it listen on port 3000.
