Use this stack to spin up a static website and deploy to azure in seconds.

Why should you use this stack?

You can spin up your own Expressjs(NodeJS) website in seconds.

Deployment happens on Azure Cloud via a Azure App Service.

The stack also sets up a proper Github CI/CD environment by taing care of the following things

1. Branch Naming convention - You can use any branch prefixed with "dev" as your development environment.
2. Branch Protection Setting - Developers working on this branch can work freely and push changes without a PR and a code reviewer. This facilitates quick development. However the main Branch is setup to dismiss stale reviews
3. Enable Security alerts - A workflow will be setup for you to enable Dependabot alerts to detect vulnerabilities.
4. CodeQL Security Analysis - Discover vulnerabilities across a codebase with CodeQL, our industry-leading semantic code analysis engine

What are the inputs to pass while setting up the stack?

# Name of the Azure App which has been configured to host the website
- AZURE_APP_NAME

# Azure Publish profile
