If you're just wanted to get set up with React, take a look at https://github.com/facebookincubator/create-react-app
Other than a couple of bare bones 'container' components there is very little to this project aside from the setup for a JavaScript app that renders react both on server and client, with Expressjs and Webpack.
Server side JS is compiled at install time (postinstall script) with Babel & Make using the babel config found in the Makefile, client side js is compiled via Webpack and uses the .babelrc found in the root directory (TODO consider making this clearer with .babelrc.server and .babelrc.client).
To start a development instance:
make start-dev
To start a development instance with debugging:
make start-debug
To build:
make build
To start production:
make start
To run tests (cough what tests? cough)
make test
Deploy to heroku simply by pushing to heroku git or connecting to the repo on github, everything else should be setup to go, for example this repo is deployed here: https://react-universal-hot-starter.herokuapp.com/
