Using GitHub Actions to deploy previews is really impressive
November 07, 2023
The Firebase CLI automatically generates a configuration file for setting up a GitHub Action to deploy previews, which is a handy feature. It's quite beneficial, especially if you're working with the Firebase webframework, so I highly recommend using it.
