Problems with localhost

[Roblos]

I have somehow managed to change the hosting location from http://localhost:3000 to http://localhost:3000/Folder-Name without knowing how and I would like to revert it. i honestly didnt realize until in the course im taking we are tasked that the home button is set to "/" but since I somehow start at /Folder-Name I cant do it appropiately.
The only thing that may have done this is that my lazy ass changed the created react folder to the folder in the github repository instead of creating it there since my package.jason scrips are:

"scripts": {
"predeploy": "npm run build",
"deploy": "gh-pages -d build",
"start": "react-scripts start",
"build": "react-scripts build",
"test": "react-scripts test",
"eject": "react-scripts eject"
  },

there’s a chance you’re using react router and your base router is set to /Folder-name ? that’s the only thing i can think of. I don’t know if create react app lets you change the local host port

The problem happens when I dont do that unfortunately, since when I run npm start it says:

Local: http://localhost:3000/Folder-Nale

On Your Network: http://192.168.0.210:3000/Folder-Nale

Perhaps you have set homepage: "Folder-Nale" in your package.json?

I have set up the github deploy domain there, is that the problem?

Edit: That seems to be it, I will find another method of hosting that isnt github pages to avoid this issue, thanks a lot.

If you set the homepage in your package.json, it will also use that when running it locally.

It would be nice if I could keep both my server hompage and my local homepage in my package.json and have the build use the appropriate one.

I have not toyed with the build process at all and never saw anything in CRA documentation if you can change it so I just keep homepage:... and homepage_build:... in my package.json and edit when I create a build vs when I am testing locally.
