Netlify Forms not recognizing forms

Netlify site name: magenta-basbousa-1ec065
Domain: lukecs.dev
Git: GitHub - lc796/portfolio-frontend: Serve portfolio frontend using React

I have a contact form on my personal portfolio page. This portfolio is built with React, using CRA. There are no issues with deployment, using CD with GitHub. As you can see from the repo, I have made numerous commits to try to get Netlify forms working.

In spite of all my efforts, tweaking each variable (e.g., I have tried including data-netlify=“true”, netlify, and both at once), there is still no recognition of the form. I have scoured the docs and cannot see why this would be. From my research, using Next might have posed such a problem, but I don’t understand why CRA would have this problem.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,
Luke

Be aware that your form and each of the inputs must be present in the public/index.html file, otherwise Netlify can’t recognize them as a Netlify form. It’s described under step 1 of the resource @clarnx posted.
