Adding this functionality will make it easier to test and review changes submitted via PR directly in the browser.

Great idea. Another project I'm involved with uses Netlify for this, but I think it costs $$.

I admit to being quite ignorant of the mechanics of CI, so how would this actually work and is there a way to do it at no cost? In a nutshell.... :-)

@crandmck express.com uses Github Pages, so I found this action. If you agree, I can add this action to CI.

well, I have created the PR, if you agree, you can merge It

Thanks @lucasraziel ! I would like to get input from other TC members who know more about GH actions and CI in general.

We can setup netflify or vercel previews for free with their open source tiers.

I'll set it up, requesting an account from netlify now.

Completed! Set it up via netlify. When someone opens or updates a PR, we should get a comment with a link to a deploy preview
