how to deploy react app to github pages step by step

deploying a react app to github pages is a straightforward process. below are the steps to guide you through deploying your react app, complete with code examples.

step 1: create your react app

if you haven't already created a react app, you can do so using create react app. open your terminal and run:

```bash
npx create-react-app my-app
cd my-app
```

replace `my-app` with the name of your application.

step 2: install github pages package

to deploy your react app to github pages, you need to add the `gh-pages` package. this package simplifies the process of deploying to github pages.

```bash
npm install gh-pages --save-dev
```

1. **add a homepage property**: this tells github pages where your app will be hosted.

```json
```

replace `username` with your github username and `repository-name` with the name of your repository.

2. **add predeploy and deploy scripts**: these scripts will help you build and deploy your app.

```json
"scripts": {
// other scripts...
"predeploy": "npm run build",
"deploy": "gh-pages -d build"
