I haven't attempted to run netlify link so far, as suggested here #180 (comment) - as my understanding is that it's required only when a local site has to be linked to an existing site online on Netlify.

Any ideas to fix this would be fantastic. Thanks for taking a look!

I might have an update to this. I deleted the entire parent folder of the root folder, created new folder and used netlify deploy. This time it works.

I guess I can close this GitHub issue at this time, but assuming devs might want to see what happened here, I am leaving this open.

After following your contributions I studied the netlify command help and more or less as a shot in the dark typed netlify unlink and then netlify init and pimba! Back in business.

I did have to reauthorize GitHub and chose the automated creation of a netlify.toml, which led me to the following.

Creating Netlify Github Notification Hooks...
Netlify Notification Hooks configured!

Success! Netlify CI/CD Configured!

This site is now configured to automatically deploy from github branches & pull requests

Now I fix a simple build configuration error and here we go.
