I am attempting to deploy my React app through GitHub, but when I try to deploy it, I get this error:

How can I stop getting the error and get the building stage to complete? Thanks!

The error is:

Since your Base directory is set to / that’s where Netlify starts, and it tries to load /package.json which does not exist in your repository.

Since you have your Publish directory set to talented-tenth/build, my wild guess is that you probably have all your source files in a folder called talented-tenth in your repository.

If that’s the case, you would change your Base directory to talented-tenth
