  • My build settings

I don’t understand why my dist or .output folder are not detected? I’ve tried commenting those out on .gitignore.

Nevermind, I let gitgnore ignore dist and .output folders again. Removed those folders from the repo. I re-generated yarn.lock.

And I set my build settings as

Base directory
frontend

Package directory
Not set

Build command
yarn generate

Publish directory
