git - Deploying GitLab pages for different branches

Question

I am deploying my React app using GitLab Pages, and it works well.

Here is my gitlab-ci.yml:

# Using the node alpine image to build the React app
image: node:alpine

# Announce the URL as per CRA docs
# https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/blob/master/packages/react-scripts/template/README.md#advanced-configuration
variables:
  PUBLIC_URL: /
# Cache node modules - speeds up future builds
cache:
  paths:
  - client/node_modules

# Name the stages involved in the pipeline
stages:
- deploy

# Job name for gitlab to recognise this results in assets for Gitlab Pages
# https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/pages/introduction.html#gitlab-pages-requirements
pages:
  stage: deploy
  script:
    - cd client
    - npm install # Install all dependencies
    - npm run build --prod # Build for prod
    - cp public/index.html public/404.html # Not necessary, but helps with https://medium.com/@pshrmn/demystifying-single-page-applications-3068d0555d46
    - mv public _public # CRA and gitlab pages both use the public folder. Only do this in a build pipeline.
    - mv build ../public # Move build files to public dir for Gitlab Pages
  artifacts:
    paths:
    - public # The built files for Gitlab Pages to serve
  only:
    - master # Only run on master branch

Now, I just created a dev version, based on my branch develop

I would like to have 2 versions of my React app with 2 different URLs. How can I do that?

For example right now, I have:

my-react-app.com linked to master branch

How should I have

dev.my-react-app.com or even my-react-app.gitlab.io linked to develop branch?
