reactjs - Heroku "Could not find a required file. Name: index.html"

Question

I have been running into this error "Could not find a required file. Name: index.html" when I attempt to deploy my React Portfolio to Heroku. I have looked at previous answers and I have not found a solution. I do not have my public folder in .gitignore and I will attach a photo to show.

Do I need to add certain "scripts" in my package.json that I may be missing. I also tried buildpacks after watching a youtube tutorial and that did not seem to work either.

Answer 1

If you're deploying from Git, anything gitignored will not be included in what gets deployed. Rather than ignoring the whole public directory, you could ignore only some files, for example public/*.js.

EDIT: see comments, I misread the question.
