Deploying GitLab pages for different branches

by

I’ve had success using the browsable artifacts for this purpose. In your example, you would create a job for your develop branch and set the PUBLIC_URL to the path on gitlab.io where the job’s artifacts are published:

develop:
    artifacts:
        paths:
          - public

    environment:
        name: Develop
        url: "https://$CI_PROJECT_NAMESPACE.gitlab.io/-/$CI_PROJECT_NAME/-/jobs/$CI_JOB_ID/artifacts/public/index.html"

    script: |
        # whatever

    stage: deploy

    variables:
        PUBLIC_URL: "/-/$CI_PROJECT_NAME/-/jobs/$CI_JOB_ID/artifacts/public"

Setting the environment as indicated produces a »Review app« link in relevant merge requests, allowing you to get to the artifacts with a single click.

Note: if your repository is in a subgroup, you need to insert the subgroup name in two places above above between /-/ and $CI_PROJECT_NAME for the resulting URLs to work.
