Case 05015

Skill knownasnaffy/prompthound/dataset/case_05015

Use the Netlify CLI (netlify) to create/link Netlify sites and set up CI/CD (continuous deployment) from GitHub, especially for monorepos (multiple sites in one repo like Hugo sites under sites/<domain>). Use when Avery asks to deploy a new site, connect a repo to Netlify, configure build/publish settings, set environment variables, enable deploy previews, or automate Netlify site creation.From its SKILL.md

2 things to look at

no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.
0 stars0 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

netlify

Use the netlify CLI to create projects (“sites”), link local folders, and configure CI/CD from GitHub.

Pre-reqs

netlify --version
Logged in (netlify login) or provide --auth $NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN.
Know the Netlify team/account slug you want to create sites under (optional but recommended).

Helpful checks:

netlify status
netlify sites:list

Monorepo pattern (recommended)

For one repo with multiple sites (e.g. sites/seattlecustomboatparts.com, sites/floridacustomerboatparts.com):

Create one Netlify site per domain.
Set the site’s Base directory to that subfolder.
Put a netlify.toml inside that subfolder.

This keeps each domain’s build config self-contained.

Hugo subfolder `netlify.toml`

Create sites/<domain>/netlify.toml:

[build]
  command = "hugo --minify"
  publish = "public"

[build.environment]
  HUGO_VERSION = "0.155.1"

(Adjust HUGO_VERSION as needed.)

Fast workflow: create + link + init CI/CD

1) Create a Netlify site (project)

Run inside the site folder you want to deploy (base dir):

cd sites/<domain>
netlify sites:create --name <netlify-site-name> --account-slug <team> --with-ci

Notes:

--with-ci starts CI hooks setup.
If you need manual control, add --manual.

2) Link local folder to the created site

If not linked already:

netlify link

3) Connect to GitHub for continuous deployment

netlify init

This is usually interactive (select Git remote/repo + build settings). For automation we can pre-create netlify.toml and then accept defaults.

Environment variables

Set per-site vars:

netlify env:set VAR_NAME value
netlify env:list

Useful for monorepos:

CONTACT_EMAIL (or other shared config)

Deploy

Manual deploys (handy for quick preview):

netlify deploy            # draft deploy
netlify deploy --prod     # production deploy

Included scripts

scripts/hugo_netlify_toml.sh: create a netlify.toml in a Hugo subfolder
scripts/netlify_monorepo_site.sh: helper to create/link/init a site for a subfolder

When using scripts, prefer passing NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN via env for non-interactive runs.
