How do I preview my changes with Hodifly?

When you open a pull request (GitHub) or a merge request (GitLab), Hodifly automatically deploys that branch to a temporary preview URL. This lets you check your changes, share them with your team, or have them validated before merging.

• Each pull request or merge request has its own subdomain, for example: deploy-preview-..
• The preview is deployed with the same configuration as your project (static site, Node.js application, or Python application).
• Preview URLs are automatically marked noindex so they are not indexed by search engines.
• Each time a new commit is pushed to the branch, Hodifly updates the preview and automatically posts the link in a pull request comment (GitHub) or a merge request note (GitLab).
• When the pull request or merge request is merged or closed, Hodifly automatically removes the preview environment, including the subdomain, the application, and the associated files.

You can enable this feature on a project-by-project basis in the settings, via the Preview link for pull requests option.
