Flutter Web x Firebase Hosting - GitHub Action

My Workflow

This GitHub Actions workflow assists Flutter developers specifically outputting to Web.
Please see the additional resource below to stay up-to-date with the required tools for this workflow to work.

The YAML files below are partially auto-generated by the Firebase CLI when setting up hosting but require additional DIY steps included for you to use directly after replacing the placeholders with the names of your secrets, project IDs, and preferred hosting channels.

To be honest I don't use flutter too much but this is quite informative and seems like it would be quite useful. Keep up the good work!
