Netlify is not deploying create-react-app

Question

Apparantly it takes 30 seconds to deploy a react app on netlify!

I have followed exactly the following steps :

create-react-app hello-world2
cd hello-world2
npm run build

npm install netlify-cli -g
netlify deploy

The CLI then gives me a bunch of options. I selected the "." for publish directory. Is that right?

This is what is in my console :

I then go to :

and I get :

How is this possible if I am following the steps exactly?

So sorry. Just realised i did not read correctly. You have to specify "./build" when deploying. I will leave this question up incase anyone is as blind as me. — Oliver Watkins

Create-React-App will build your app into production files that it places in the ./build folder - see docs here.

You need to tell Netlify to look in there, so set publish directory to build.
