Integrate Netlify for Deploy Previews

[praveenscience]

As we move up to the coding phase now, let's start implementing the Deploy Previews feature of Netlify. When someone creates a PR, the netlify service should send a link to show how it looks.

You can find more information here: Introducing Deploy Previews in Netlify. This is up for grabs people. Anyone from DWoC or SWoC can pick it up.

When you pick up, please answer the following in bullet points as answers:

• Do you understand what is required? Do you need any help with the issue?
• How much Netlify integration knowledge you have? You wanna try or you know it and you wanna work?
• Which programme you're working on? DWoC or SWoC or both?

As always, reach out to me in case of anything. 😁

Hi, can I work on this?

Do you understand what is required? Do you need any help with the issue?

Yes, it is essentialy setting up a CICD for the application

How much Netlify integration knowledge you have? You wanna try or you know it and you wanna work?

I haven't done much with Netlify but I have worked with other hosting services. I want to learn doing it on Netlify and will do so.

Which programme you're working on? DWoC or SWoC or both?

I am working on DWoC

Can you please assign this to me?

Hi @avinashupadhya99, yes, technically it's setting up CI/CD for only the PRs... 😁

Can you please assign this to me?

Cool, you can start working on this. 😁 Keep me updated with the progress.

Hey, I looked up deploy previews on Netlify and tested it out with my repo. There are no code changes necessary for deploy previews. Once the repository is set up for deployment on Netlify, any PR made to the repository will have a deploy preview. There are no changes required.

Please let me know if you plan on implementing CICD for the entire application. I can work on that. 🥂

Yes, @avinashupadhya99. What needs to be done? Should we do it together?

Just saw this:
You only need to add commit hooks to your Netlify sites, we take care of the rest.

@avinashupadhya99 I'll set this thing up. Once I have done it, I'll ask you to update some code changes so that you get the points for looking into. Hope that helps?

Yes you just need to add the repository on Netlify. Everything else is taken care by them.

No issue. I will work on other issues that come up

@avinashupadhya99 This one is still your responsibility. Thanks for getting me a clarity on this. 😁 Will award the right points for you.

[avinashupadhya99]

I'm sorry, I didn't get it. Should I set up the netlify on my account? If yes, I don't think that is possible because I would need access to the repository.

If it is regarding the points for DWoC, I'm fine with it. 😄 I got to learn something new. 😁

@avinashupadhya99 Send a random PR to fix something. I'll get you the points you deserve. Can you please do it now?
