surge TOKEN. Then go tohttps://gitlab.com/<username>/<project>/-/settings/ci_cdand create two new environment variables:
Project name -> CI/CD -> Variables -> Add variable
SURGE_LOGIN - email used in the middle of the registration process
SURGE_TOKEN - token provided by the above command
$CI_COMMIT_SHORT_SHA is predefined variable, it'll return the first eight
characters of CI_COMMIT_SHA Docs
sed -i "s/%%VERSION%%/$CI_COMMIT_SHORT_SHA" ./public/index.html - sed is a
linux command replacing a placeholder (or a marker like %%VERSION%% is
placed in index.js file) with a specified key word, in our case it's an
environment variable.
