React deployment doesn't work unless I commit build folder

Hello, Firstly, I would like to thank you for this package, it has really helped me perform continuous deployment with smoothly to my FTP server without much hassle, I honestly appreciate it. Based on your documentation, I can upload my react build folder to my server without commiting it by adding !build to my .git-ftp-include file, however, I have tried but it tells me that the build folder cannot be found, when I remove build folder from .gitignore and commit then push to github it uploads to my FTP server. How can I solve this problem because I am trying to avoid pushing my build folder to github.

Finally managed to make it work, removed the deploy job and placed all the steps under one job, your initial suggestion of placing !build/ folder in .git-ftp-include file is the solution. I’ll add my code below incase someone faces the same problem.
