[CI] Add PR Preview Workflow for content-only site with Netlify #22
Description
Current Behavior
No deploy previews are generated when pull requests are opened or updated. Reviewers must check out the branch locally to view changes.
Related Issue : layer5io/exoscale-academy#27
Desired Behavior
A Netlify Deploy Preview should be automatically created for each PR, allowing reviewers to view live changes to the Hugo site directly from the PR.
Implementation
- Set up a GitHub Actions workflow that triggers on pull_request events.
- Use Netlify CLI or GitHub App integration to deploy a preview.
- Post the preview URL as a comment or status check on the PR.
Acceptance Tests
- Workflow triggers on new or updated PRs.
- Netlify preview is deployed automatically.
- Preview URL is accessible and linked in the PR.
