I'm following instructions from https://github.com/gitname/react-gh-pages to deploy my react app to github pages.

At the link I'm getting a blank page though and a 404 error: Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()

My app works on local host

I searched around and its likely my homepage link that is wrong?

link to my repo: https://github.com/PatgioK/pathfindingvisualizer

link to the app: https://patgiok.github.io/pathfindingvisualizer/

here is my package.json:

Try specifying the branch in the deploy script by adding -b SomeBranchName in your packages.json.

so:

"scripts": {
    ...,
    "deploy": "gh-pages -d build -b SomeBranchName",
    ...

Where is your static folder in your repo? This is what your 404 page is complaining about it. I checked your GitHub repo and I don't see either.
