I have a gatsby portfolio page that's simply all in an index.js file.

It says that my node is outdated, but I do node -v in the project directory and it says I have v14.8.1, so I am confused. Is there another problem? public subdirectory was previously gitignored, so I removed it from there, but that doesn't seem to do anything. I can't find much information about deployment failures on Amplify since it's supposed to be straightforward. Do I have to use nvm? It also won't even deploy on Github pages-- it just shows the "Gatsby Minimal Starter" page in my repo.
I think there's a mismatching Node version between your local environment and the AWS Amplify's. If you run different versions of Node, the installed dependencies in the npm install will be different so your application will behave differently in both environments, assuming that it builds locally (if don't, there might be another underlying problem).
As you pointed, you can use nvm to set the provision version. Based on How to change Node Version in Provision Step in Amplify Console you can try:
frontend:
phases:
preBuild:
commands:
- nvm install your_local_node_version
Using a .nvmrc file in the root of the project should also work. You can set it directly by:
node -v > .nvmrc
Out of the scope of the question: /public directory should be always ignored because it's autogenerated in each build, so it will be overridden. There's no point in pushing it and it will save you MB bandwidth.
