I have experience developing ReactJS apps on Windows (with VSCode and Git/Sourcetree), but I have never used Linux/Mac.

Now I'm going to work (temporarily) with a team who are working on a huge/mature ReactJS project. The problem is they're all on Linux and Mac (they use Git too).

I am hoping to be able to just use my Sourcetree and VSCode and everything on Windows, but I imagine at least the scripts in their package.json won't easily run on my Windows machine?

If anyone has faced a similar situation I would really appreciate some advice so I could prepare.

    Many `scripts` work just fine. See how it goes first before worrying in advance. – AKX Aug 03 '21 at 06:12

To work on a project developed on Linux, and make Linux commands from the package.json scripts run on Visual Studio Code on Windows:

  1. Install Git for Windows
  2. Set VSCode to use Bash
  3. Run this command to make npm scripts run in Bash: 
    npm config set script-shell 
"C:\Users\hardi.sempuno\AppData\Local\Programs\Git\bin\bash.exe"
    (To undo this: npm config delete script-shell)
