Deploy Your AppReturn to your project’s root directory and deploy your app using the gh-pages package:

npm install gh-pages --save-dev


Next, add the following scripts to your package.json file:

"scripts": {
"predeploy": "npm run build",
"deploy": "gh-pages -d build",
...
}


Finally, run the deploy command:

npm run deploy


This command deploys your app to the gh-pages branch.

Troubleshooting and Tips

Even the smoothest deployment processes can encounter hiccups. Here are some common troubleshooting tips:

• Custom Domain: If you want to use a custom domain for your deployed app, configure it in the “GitHub Pages” settings of your repository.
• 404 Errors: If you encounter 404 errors on your deployed app, ensure that your package.json file has the correct homepage field:
  "homepage": "https://your-username.github.io/your-repo"

• Relative Paths: Be cautious when using absolute paths in your app, as they might not work correctly in the production environment.
