Setup GitHub Release for Production Deployments #29

Description

@NEStock

I'd like to suggest that we revert back to using GitHub Releases to start the production deploy and have a single default prod (or differently named) branch that sandbox (and production) deploys from.

Pros:

  • Prevent the curret "double" PR workflow that we have to do now
  • Clean up our commit history
  • Makes the merging more straightforward

For reference, our current workflow is as follows:

  1. new branch for an issue <issue-branch>
  2. merge <issue-branch> into apl-setup
    a. apl-setup branch is deployed to the Sandbox App https://apl-setup--ember-dandi-archive.netlify.app/
  3. merge apl-setup to prod
    a. prod branch is deployed to the Production App https://dandi.emberarchive.org

Welcome additional thoughts & pros/cons!

    Additional Note: if/when we do this, we will want to un-skip the test in homePage.test.js checking for the version link!

    probably that should also address the issue of incorrect describe on the mainpage:

    or do you just need tags?

    My understanding is that if we used tags then the version would show up in more user-friendly way (i.e. version v0.13.1) , like on https://dandiarchive.org

    So I think yes using releases would also achieve this
