[Azure Static Web Apps] Allow changing repository source on Free tier via Azure portal

I spent almost a full day trying to change the repository source of an Azure Static Web Apps deployment. Turns out, if you are using the Free tier, the Azure portal does not let you do it. Lately I have been learning more about cloud technologies, especially Microsoft Azure, and it has been quite a steep learning curve. Last week I finally had to do something I had been postponing for months: changing the source repository for my Azure Static Web Apps deployment. I kept delaying it simply because I did not know how to do it. When I started looking for documentation, I realised that because my app was running on the Free tier, there was no option in the Azure portal to change the repository source directly. I ended up spending almost a full day debugging and trying different approaches because I could not find clear documentation about how to change the repository source for a Free tier Static Web App. Fortunately, after digging deeper, I discovered that the solution was actually quite straightforward using the Azure CLI. Since I imagine other people who are learning Azure might run into the same frustation, I decided to write my first Medium post documenting the process and sharing the steps that worked for me. If you are working with Azure Static Web Apps and need to migrate the repository source, this might help. Link to the article: https://lnkd.in/eKb-BG4s #azure #microsoftazure #medium
