πŸš€ Overview

This PR implements issue #86 by migrating the project documentation hosting from GitHub Pages to Netlify, providing improved deployment flexibility and advanced hosting features.

✨ Key Changes

1. Deployment Infrastructure

  • βœ… Replaced GitHub Pages workflow with Netlify deployment
  • βœ… Added .github/workflows/deploy-netlify.yml using nwtgck/[email protected]
  • βœ… Created netlify.toml with build configuration and redirects
  • βœ… Removed old .github/workflows/deploy-pages.yml

2. URL Migration

  • βœ… Updated mkdocs.yml site URL: https://httpdss.github.io/struct/ β†’ https://structio.netlify.app/
  • βœ… Fixed site output directory from site/docs to site
  • βœ… Rebuilt documentation with new URLs in all generated files
  • βœ… Configured automatic redirects from old URLs to new ones

3. Enhanced Features

  • βœ… Pull request previews - Netlify will generate preview deployments for PRs
  • βœ… Commit status updates - Build status reported directly to GitHub
  • βœ… SEO preservation - Proper 301 redirects from old GitHub Pages URLs
  • βœ… Modern Material theme - Updated site generation with latest features

πŸ”§ Technical Details

New Netlify Workflow Features:

  • Triggers on pushes to main and pull requests
  • Builds using mkdocs build command
  • Publishes to ./site directory
  • Requires NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN and NETLIFY_SITE_ID secrets
  • Provides PR comments and commit status updates

Netlify Configuration:

  • Build command: mkdocs build
  • Publish directory: site
  • Python version: 3.11
  • Development server on port 8000
  • Automatic redirects from GitHub Pages URLs

πŸ“‹ Post-Merge Requirements

Repository Secrets Setup

The following secrets must be configured in the repository:

  1. NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN - Generate from Netlify β†’ User settings β†’ Personal access tokens
  2. NETLIFY_SITE_ID - Found in Netlify site settings β†’ Site information

Netlify Site Configuration

  1. Create/configure Netlify site with custom domain: structio.netlify.app
  2. Enable branch deploys for PR previews
  3. Verify redirect rules are working

πŸ§ͺ Testing

  • βœ… Documentation builds successfully with mkdocs build
  • βœ… All generated files reference new Netlify URL
  • βœ… Internal links verified working
  • βœ… Site structure properly organized
  • βœ… Material theme assets correctly generated

πŸ“š Documentation

Included NETLIFY_MIGRATION_SUMMARY.md with:

  • Complete implementation details
  • Step-by-step setup instructions
  • Benefits and technical improvements
  • Troubleshooting guidance

🌟 Benefits

  1. Enhanced CI/CD - Better integration with GitHub workflows
  2. Preview Deployments - Automatic PR previews for documentation changes
  3. Performance - Netlify's CDN and optimization features
  4. Flexibility - More deployment and configuration options
  5. SEO Friendly - Proper redirects maintain search rankings

⚠️ Important Notes

  • The workflow will initially fail until secrets are configured
  • First deployment should be tested on this branch before merging
  • Old GitHub Pages URLs will automatically redirect (no downtime)
  • All internal documentation links remain unchanged
