On Vercel, new git branch (datajson branch of gita Nextjs frontend project) deployment was not done automatically.
Procedure to create preview deployment from datajson branch on Vercel:
Vercel a/c page -> project -> Deployments -> click '...' button on top right -> Create Deployment
- Chose datajson branch reference - it was automatically set to Preview -> Clicked Create Deployment button
- Deployment got done successfully and build was started automatically.
- Deployment succeeded. URL domain: https://gita-git-datajson-snipped--.vercel.app/
- Deployed app seems to be working OK.
