I have seen a few post regarding this issue all of them with different problems, in my case my site build fine using both **npm start** and **npm run build** but when Netlify tries to deploy I get the following error:

> Cannot find file ‘./components/UsersContainer/UsersContainer.js’ in ‘./src’.

What do I need to look for to make my site comply with Netlify deployment rules?

Any help will be much appreciated

Cheers  
Ricardo

You can change your git config  
Globaly \> git config --global core.ignorecase false  
Or (if you are created one repository)  
Go to folder in your project “.git/config” and change or add this configuration \>  
[core]  
ignorecase = false
