Enable some form of deploy previews for PR's

I've been using Netlify to host live previews of my PR's lately, this would streamline it 😄

I was playing with Gatsby cloud recently, which is very similar but Gatsby specific (which we don't use here).

I'll have a look, thanks for sharing this!

If we move the pipeline to GitHub actions we can probably achieve something nice by combining these 2 actions here:

• Publish on surge.sh (to publish a new version everytime a new PR is created)
• Comment on PR (to post the URL to the preview into the PR)

The same workflow is probably easy to achieve on CircleCI as well, but i expect it would require a bit of more manual effort to tie up the different APIs

The nodejs.dev repo is doing this with github actions. https://github.com/nodejs/nodejs.dev/blob/main/.github/workflows/generate-preview.yml

@benhalverson would you love to send a pr?

[benhalverson]

Sure I can take a look at how this could work with your setup 👍🏻
