Rock-paper-scissors game built with React styled components

What are the best practices to avoid 'path issues' (to static assets in the public folder) when deploying React applications to GitHub pages? I normally use paths, like './images/...' to access images, but after deploying the app from my local computer with 'gh-pages', I could not use these links locally (I had to add the website's name???), but I had to keep them for the Github deployment. Thx
