Gotchas

• For github pages to work on an arbitrary route we have used some workarounds. For production builds deployed directly on / you need to make the following changes
  1. publicPath: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production' ? '/react-template/' : '/' should be: publicPath: '/'
  2. relativePaths: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production' should be: relativePaths: false,
  3. const history = createBrowserHistory({ basename: baseUrl }); should be: const history = createBrowserHistory();
