Support for incremental deployment
daveaglick opened this issue · comments
There is an unserved use case where only parts of the generation are run and the resulting output files only represent a subset of all files that constitute a full site. When running in this mode we need a way to deploy only those changed files without deleting everything else that's already been deployed.
Right now the built-in deployment modules generally upload and deploy everything in a "full merge" mode. In GitHub this means uploading every output document as a blob and creating a full commit tree. In Azure and Netlify this means uploading a zip file with the full output. Ideally we'd have a setting for every deployment environment that toggles from a "full merge" mode to a "overwrite changes" mode - though that's highly dependent on what the various environments support.

Highly desirable feature indeed!
