Extends the workflow suggested in DE-RSE#99 to deploy PR previews with the unofficial GitHub Action rossjrw/pr-preview-action.
Since it depends on DE-RSE#99, I have set the base branch to my
ci-build, to track the differences. It should targetmasterin the end.I have not used this anywhere else yet, but we have considered it in our project's website: precice/precice.github.io#107
If we were to look into this direction, this Action requires changing the workflow permissions, which a repository owner would need to apply.
Update: This Action works with pushing to the branch used by GitHub Pages. This would only make sense if we actually deploy from a different branch than
master(typicallygh-pages).This seems to work, but the website needs further configuration to correctly source the CSS files. See, for example: https://makish.github.io/de-rse-chapter/muc/
I leave it here as an experiment, I might pick it up again in the future.
