cloning existing repo and creating react-app

Question

So I got a little bit confused. I have to clone a remote repo which contains only an asset folder. Create a new branch, work on it, and then push to that repo. The only problem is, I have to use creat-react-app . So my question is, what is the right order of git commands?

1. git clone "repository name" 
2. create-react-app .
3. git branch "branch name" 
4. git checkout "branch name" 
5. git push origin "branch name".

Please let me know if I'm thinking correctly. Many thanks in advance !!

Answer 1

after cloning:

1. create a new branch and switch to the branch

2. pull from origin to keep your branch up-todate

3. create-react-app . add changes and commit

4. push to remote branch

    1. git clone "repository name" 2. git checkout -b "branch name" 3. git pull origin <default branch> # pull from origin to keep you up to date 4. create-react-app . 5. git add . 6. git commit -m "your msg" 7. git push origin "branch name"
