yarn deploy sets gh-pages to static create-react-app page instead of what is on my branch

Question

I have deployed my app at https://hudsonbasso.com/ and it is just showing the readme instead of what is showing on my branch when run locally. I suspect is something with the build folder or gh-pages not recognizing my index.js in the src folder. Link to repo https://github.com/hbasso/wherecaniwatch

Answer 1

I ended up solving this by adding a.nojekyll file and following some of the instructions here https://jiafulow.github.io/blog/2020/07/09/create-gh-pages-branch-in-existing-repo/ to create an empty branch called 'gh-pages' and then my yarn deploy worked!
