I then changed the app setting value for this deployment slot. In your App Service create a Deployment Slot and name it “staging” and choose to clone the main service settings (to get the previous app setting I noted).I added one Application Setting to my App Service called APPSERVICE_ENVIRONMENT so I could just extract a string noting which environment I was in and display it on the home page.I also created these using the portal to have everything setup in advance.

You can get a free Azure account as well and do exactly this without any obligation.

If you’d like to have a primer and see some other updates on Actions, be sure to check out Chris Patterson’s session from Universe: Continuous delivery with GitHub Actions. First I’ll acknowledge that this is the simplest getting started you can have and your workflows may be more complex, etc. I wanted to share my write-up in hopes it might help others get started quickly as well.

Well, announced at GitHub Universe, reviewers is now in Beta for Actions customers!!! Yes!!! I spent some time setting up a flow with an ASP.NET 5 web app and Azure as my deployment to check it out. The concept of how Azure Pipelines does it is so nice and simple to understand in my opinion and a lot of the attempts by others using various Actions stitched together made it tough to adopt. Until now (roughly the time of this writing) that wasn’t possible easily in Actions. One of the biggest things that I’ve wanted (and have heard others) when adopting GitHub Actions is the use of some type of approval flow.
