Configure Netlify to only build docs on release #109

Open acobster opened 5 years ago

We don't want to ship docs to production that aren't included in an official release yet. The GH/Netlify shouldn't watch/build master directly; it should only trigger a build of the docs for new releases (tags).

There may be a way to configure Netlify settings to do this through our Netlify account/project settings UI. If not, we'll need custom code a solution to either trigger a Netlify build directly on new releases or detect when there's no new release in our tooling and bail accordingly.

Based on conversation with @philmprice, it sounds like the simplest option is to base the Netlify site on a docs branch that only gets updated whenever there's a release. A GH Actions setup or similar could fast-forward the docs branch automatically whenever a new release is created.
