React deployment: How do I prevent /workspaces folder from being served and visible in Sources?

Hey, I am serving some react app from my git repository with basic $5 web service using nodejs buildpack on Digital Ocean. For some reason if go to the website the whole SOURCE CODE of my app is visible in the dev tools in the Source, in a /workplace folder.

How do I prevent this? This does not happen when I serve the build locally or when using the free starter droplet. I dont want the whole source code to be visible in the sources!
