Hello, I just started a site with manual deployment and this worked, but when I tried to link it to a GitHub repo and building from it it failed giving the following error

8:57:36 AM: Build ready to start

For context, this is an RMarkdown bookdown repo, I tried using “npm run build” for the building command

Thanks
