react-native: Initialize a new React Native project in a directory of the same name.
$ react-native init ${project_name}
try on your machine

The command "react-native init ${project_name}" is used to create a new React Native project with the specified project name.

Here's a breakdown of the command's structure:

  • "react-native init": This is the base command to initialize a new React Native project.

  • "${project_name}": It is a placeholder that represents the name of your project. You need to replace it with the desired name for your project.

To use this command, you'll need to have React Native CLI installed on your machine. When you run the command with the desired project name, React Native CLI will create a new directory with that name and set up a basic React Native project inside it. The project structure will include various files and folders necessary for building a React Native app.

Once the command completes successfully, you can navigate into the project folder, and you will find the necessary files to start building your React Native app.
