Hello guys, compliments.
I am having issues with deploying from a github repo with .yaml. The process keeps trying to read my local directory instead of the github repo.

I get this error message: " 'FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/Users/lawalidris/Desktop/data_eng/prefect/hello.py' " after running "prefect deploy -n my_github_deployment"

My .yaml file

```# relevant section of the file:
pull:
- prefect.deployments.steps.git_clone:
    repository: <https://github.com/drisAloma/prefect_flows.git>
    branch: main

# deployment configurations
deployments:
  # base metadata
- name: my_github_deployment
  entrypoint: hello.py:hello_world
  work_pool:
    name: cloud_deploy
    work_queue_name:
    job_variables: {}

hi <@U08639YEFK9> - looking at
```'FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/Users/lawalidris/Desktop/data_eng/prefect/hello.py```
it looks like you might be running `prefect deploy` from your
```/Users/lawalidris/Desktop/data_eng/prefect```
directory

but the `entrypoint` should be relative to the root of your repo, which from the `pull` step seems to be this repo
```prefect_flows```
so where are you running `prefect deploy` from? it should be run from the root of your `prefect_flows` repo, and then `entrypoint` should be relative to that repo root

like these <https://github.com/zzstoatzz/prefect-pack/blob/main/prefect.yaml#L52-L64|examples>

Hello Nate, thanks for looking into this.
I am running `prefect deploy` from "Users/lawalidris/Desktop/data_eng/prefect" locally.

Do i need to create a root directory locally to replicate the directory on Github, that is "prefect_flows/hello.py"?

Also, using a python script instead of .yaml works when i run it from that directory

```from prefect import flow

if __name__ == "__main__":
    flow.from_source(
        source="<https://github.com/drisAloma/prefect_flows.git>",
        entrypoint="hello.py:hello_world",
    ).deploy(
        name="my_github_deployment",
        work_pool_name="cloud_deploy",
        parameters={"goodbye": True, "name":"Lawal"}
    )```

Hello Nate
Please can you check this when you are available

Also, I am having an issue exposing perfect server  running in a VPS to my local machine, I've been chatting with the bots for hours but can't seem to get ahead.
