Is there a way to rename public and build folders?

[apieceofbart]

I am trying to setup gitlab pages deployment.

I would like to keep source files of my project in repo and have a CI script that runs npm run build to create a fresh version each time I commit something. The problem is that gitlabs CI expects the served files to be in public folder which is already taken by create-react-app.
Ideally I would change public folder to something else and have the npm run build command output the files to public folder instead of build.
Before I eject - do you know if this is possible without ejecting? Thanks for help

No, there is currently no way to do it.

You can always keep the project in a separate folder (e.g. app), and copy build product to the server's ../public as a build step after the build.

  "build": "react-scripts build && cp build/* ../public/"

Hope this helps!

yeah, I was thinking about similar solution - it's the easiest by far - thanks!
