@thatsjustkari You need to set your Build Configuration (it’s not necessarily auto detected):

See:
https://docs.netlify.com/configure-builds/overview/

Currently, you’re just deploying all the source files in the repository, e.g.
https://oxygenbay.netlify.app/readme.md
https://oxygenbay.netlify.app/air-bay/eslint.config.js

In your repository, all your files are within the directory air-bay:

So you should set your Base directory to air-bay.

In your package.json your build script is:

github.com/PixelCharmer/game

air-bay/package.json

master


      
                  "netlify-cli": "^19.0.3",
                  "vite": "^6.2.0"
              },
              "keywords": [],
              "license": "ISC",
              "main": "eslint.config.js",
              "name": "air-bay",
              "private": true,
              "scripts": {
                  "dev": "vite",
                  "build": "vite build",
                  "lint": "eslint .",
                  "preview": "vite preview"
              },
              "type": "module",
              "version": "0.0.0"
          }

So you should set your Build command to npm run build OR vite build

When your project is run, it outputs:

Since it builds into the dist folder, you want to set your Publish directory to dist.

Once you do those things, then trigger a new deployment, your site will build & deploy.
