 ## Folder Structure of Create React App
+
 `create-react-app` is a monorepo, meaning it is divided into independent sub-packages.<br>
 These packages can be found in the [`packages/`](https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/tree/master/packages) directory.

 ### Package Descriptions
+
 #### [babel-preset-react-app](https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/tree/master/packages/babel-preset-react-app)
+
 This package is a babel preset intended to be used with `react-scripts`.<br>
 It targets platforms that React is designed to support (IE 11+) and enables experimental features used heavily at Facebook.<br>
 This package is enabled by default for all `create-react-app` scaffolded applications.
+
 #### [create-react-app](https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/tree/master/packages/create-react-app)
+
 The global CLI command code can be found in this directory, and shouldn't often be changed. It should run on Node 0.10+.
+
 #### [eslint-config-react-app](https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/tree/master/packages/eslint-config-react-app)
+
 This package contains a conservative set of rules focused on making errors apparent and enforces no style rules.<br>
 This package is enabled by default for all `create-react-app` scaffolded applications.
+
 #### [react-dev-utils](https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/tree/master/packages/react-dev-utils)
+
 This package contains utilities used for `react-scripts` and sister packages.<br>
 Its main purpose is to conceal code which the user shouldn't be burdened with upon ejecting.
+
 #### [react-scripts](https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/tree/master/packages/react-scripts)
+
 This package is the heart of the project, which contains the scripts for setting up the development server, building production builds, configuring all software used, etc.<br>
 All functionality must be retained (and configuration given to the user) if they choose to eject.

 ### Install Node.js and yarn

 Even if you have node and yarn installed on your windows, it would not be accessible from the bash shell. You would have to install it again. Installing via [`nvm`](https://github.com/creationix/nvm#install-script) is recommended.

 2. Close the milestone.
 3. In most releases, only `react-scripts` needs to be released. If you don’t have any changes to the `packages/create-react-app` folder, you don’t need to bump its version or publish it (the publish script will publish only changed packages).
 4. Note that files in `packages/create-react-app` should be modified with extreme caution. Since it’s a global CLI, any version of `create-react-app` (global CLI) including very old ones should work with the latest version of `react-scripts`.
-5. Create a change log entry for the release:
-  * You'll need an [access token for the GitHub API](https://help.github.com/articles/creating-an-access-token-for-command-line-use/). Save it to this environment variable: `export GITHUB_AUTH="..."`
-  * Run `yarn changelog`. The command will find all the labeled pull requests merged since the last release and group them by the label and affected packages, and create a change log entry with all the changes and links to PRs and their authors. Copy and paste it to `CHANGELOG.md`.
-  * Add a four-space indented paragraph after each non-trivial list item, explaining what changed and why. For each breaking change also write who it affects and instructions for migrating existing code.
-  * Maybe add some newlines here and there. Preview the result on GitHub to get a feel for it. Changelog generator output is a bit too terse for my taste, so try to make it visually pleasing and well grouped.
