JavaScript Deploy to GitHub Pages

Deploy to gh-pages fails

As far as I can tell I followed the video to the nth degree. When I enter npm run build I get:

> reactrouter@0.1.0 build /Users/doug5solas/training/treehouse/courses/fsjsCourses/React/reactrouter
> react-scripts build

Creating an optimized production build...

The project was built assuming it is hosted at /ReactRouter/.
You can control this with the homepage field in your package.json.

The build folder is ready to be deployed.
To publish it at https://dhawkinson.github.io/ReactRouter, run:

Hello Doug. Did you create a GitHub repository for this work and connect it with your local git repository?

Yes I did.

Is your remote origin set up correctly? This leads me to believe it's not:

Failed to get remote.origin.url (task must either be run in a git repository with a configured origin remote or must be configured with the "repo" option).

Try doing this:

$ git remote remove origin
$ git remote add origin https://github.com/dhawkinson/ReactRouter.git
$ git push -u origin master
