title: Deploying a React Webpack app (not created with create-react-app) to Github pages
body: <p>I'm fairly new to the React ecosystem; I've made a simple single page webpage for a tech conference and I want to deploy it to gh-pages. </p>
  
  <p>I know create-react-app has <a href="https://github.com/facebookincubator/create-react-app" rel="nofollow noreferrer">very good documentation</a> on deploying to gh-pages but my app was not made with that. I manually setup all the configurations for Webpack and React, instead of using the react-scripts module that create-react-app uses.</p>
  
  <p>I tried finding some posts about deploying a non-create-react-app to gh-pages but I've had no luck so I was wondering if there's any simple solutions.</p>
  
  <p>My current solution is to just push only the dist folder to the gh-pages and serve that. I wanted to see if there's a simpler way where I can just push the whole dev branch over to gh-pages and be able to serve the correct elements still.</p>
