Hooking up Azure Static Web Apps to a Github repository is very easy and works incredibly well.

Using Github actions, and a managed secret deployment key on the Azure side, the I used the default integration yml generated by Azure to set up continuous integration action. Out of the box, it creates a new environment for each pull request on the repository with a unique url. This is a useful feature for managing different experimental paths and seeing how it looks on an "almost" production site.

The one thing I did to make this work with my Nuxt static site, is I use the

app_build_command: "npm run generate"

as opposed to the built-in script, which I think is

npm run build

and this allows me to have my static site generated and fully rendered by the Nuxt tooling and pushed up to the Azure Static Web App.
