Angular CI/CD

Learning objectives

• Be able to use github actions to create pipelines
• Be able to deploy an Angular application to Netlify

Setting up

• Fork and clone the repository
• Create a netlify account

Generating a netlify auth token

In order to use github actions to deploy the netlify website we need an auth token.

• Go to Applications > Personal access tokens
• Select "new personal access token"
• Provide a meaningful description of the token
• Select the desired expiration date
• Click generate token

Save this token somewhere as we will need it later. Once a token is created (and you navigate away from the page) it will be impossible to get that token again. If you lose the token, you will need to create a new one.

Instructions

Using what was covered in the morning - create a github action that will deploy the website using netlify
