Ability to deploy public repos by URL

Render has some example repos, like redis. It adds friction to have to fork them before deploying. Particularly as the number of useful example services (both render's and user-contributed) grow, it would be nice to be able to deploy public repos in a single step.

You can now paste public URL repos in the repo selection list.

Anurag Goel If I understand it correctly, it's already implemented and can be closed!
I've had no problem deploying a service from a public (
render-example
) repo.But it could be improved:
auto deploy
could be set automatically as no
when deploying from a repo when you can't install webhook. As of today, I have to manually set auto deploy
to no
for each repo deployed from a public URL.my use case is as following:
Initial deploy using a public repo URL, and then deploy from my CI/CD using the deploy webhook.

Sylvain Kerkour: good idea.

We've talked about this internally and thinking through the implementation. The biggest user-facing issue is auto deploys. Since we can't install webhooks on public repos we don't own, we won't have auto-deploy turned on for them. I suspect that's still okay.

Anurag Goel: Yeah, I think that's pretty acceptable. Definitely good enough in the short to medium term, and in the long term the solution is probably a more fully formed render marketplace anyhow, which would come with its own sorts of authentication and setup.
