I am learning React Native and Firestore as I go building a project. I am trying to bundle some data and I would like to use the bundle builder extenstion for my project. I am following the documentation for this extension but one piece of the instructions is unclear to me. I am supposed to clone the bundle builder from github as the first step but I do not know where I am supposed to clone this. I am using Expo to create my project and I am wondering if I need to clone this into the directory of my expo project or does this need to go into it's own directory?

I have tried downloading into it's own directory and I have not been able to get it to work. I wanted to double check before I download it into my Expo project directory and accidently mess something up.

From looking at the documentation on Using the Firestore Bundle Builder Extension that you seem to be following, it seems that building and serving the bundle actually accesses your Firestore instance - so that needs to run in the same Firebase project as where your data resides.

It does not become part of your Expo app though. Instead it becomes a separate web site on Firebase Hosting and Cloud Functions when you deploy the site (that's the same link as included in the docs).
