After using a submodule to push files directly to the public repository, Netlify says it can’t locate the config file. I’ve follow “Adding the Hugo Version to the environment variables” with no luck and have remade the website from scratch multiple times.

Any advice?

7:53:33 PM: Error: Unable to locate config file or config directory. Perhaps you need to create a new site.
7:53:33 PM: Run hugo help new for details.

Could you please share the site name?

Netlify URL: jade-platypus-e38200
URL: https://dougie.cool (Current Old Deploy)
Here’s the Repo’s as well
Static Content Repo: GitHub - dougietubby/steampage.github.io: Static content generated for site (Used for deploy)
Website Backup Repo: GitHub - dougietubby/steampage: Backup for website

Added netlify.toml to the root directory. Changed netlify’s deploy repo to my “backup” repo instead of the repo with the static content. Sucessfull build, but theme isn’t applied properly.
