It may be obvious, but we are big fans of using Tugboat to build live previews for every pull request that we create for a site. As of last spring, Tugboat has also been available for use on Drupal core and contributed projects.
It is now dead simple to add Tugboat to Drupal contributed modules and it will build a live preview for any issue with a merge request.
- Add a
composer.json
file to your project if it doesn't already have one. - Create a file at the root of the repository named
.tugboat/config.yml
. - Paste the sample configuration below into your new config file.
- Search and replace
webform
with your module name in the config file. - Create an issue, then an issue fork, and finally a merge request. Creating the merge request will trigger a Tugboat live preview which will be visible after reloading the issue.
