Setting up the staging environment is almost identical to production. Simply repeat the previous steps, replacing production with staging where necessary.

Start by creating a staging branch:

git checkout -b staging

Then push your staging branch to GitHub:

git push --set-upstream origin staging

GitHub Actions will automatically deploy your staging branch to its dedicated Node.js service.
