Hello! I am trying to put my React projects on Github Pages with npm run deploy. Everything goes fine with the first stages of npm run build and react scripts build. But then when it gets to this part it fails:
> gh-pages -d build

fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

So clearly my SSH key is working. I even created a whole new SSH key and that one still isn’t allowing me to complete npm run deploy. What do I do from here? I have followed the troubleshooting steps in the Github documentation, but to no avail.
Could it be because it never asks for my passphrase when running gh-pages -d build?
The SSH folder on my computer has no config file, if that means anything. Just id_rsa, id_rsa.pub, and known_hosts.
Thank you sooo much for your help. I have been stuck for days. Most online explanations seem to assume I already know Git/Node and don’t explain things clearly at all.
