Actually this would be really nice: We could run the esgf logic through both the PR and production logic before submitting anything (by setting up two actions with different env variables). I think this would take a lot of hassle out of the dev workflow here.
Whenever I modify the logic in the recipe/esgf query, I find it very irritating to wait for a complete deploy action cycle to hunt errors.
Reminder to set up a CI action that simply expands the metadata (and thus runs through all of the esgf stuff) before submitting.
I added some text in the README in #149 that can be used to set this up.
