As an attempt to get faster PR preview deployments, by using a single folder of resized images (gh-pages resized/ root folder)
and symlinks for each PR preview build.Important
Actually, Github builds the archive during the "pages build and deployment" by using
--dereference --hard-dereference
, so using symlinks does not save us anything regarding the deployment… 😢https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/9104
So, instead, tweaks the app so we can configure the base URL to use for resized images. Hence, we can use relative
../../resized
base path to re-use the staging directory for PR previews (deployed to/pr/{number}
). 🎉
