Please also provide a **test plan**, i.e. specify how you verified what you added works.

## Setting up a local copy of the repository

1. Clone the repo with `git clone https://github.com/facebookincubator/create-react-app`

2. Run `npm install` in the root `create-react-app` folder **and** the `create-react-app/global-cli` folder

Once it is done, you can modify any file locally and run `npm start` or `npm run build` just like in a generated project.

If you want to try out the end-to-end flow with the global CLI, you can do this too:

```
npm run create-react-app my-app
cd my-app
```

and then run `npm start` or `npm run build`.
