Option to Build with Pending Entries

[MWhiteFearless]

I'd like to be able to optionally build our site including pending entries, and it would be nice if there were a setting in craft, maybe in general.php, to conditionally enable that (if there already is and I've missed it please let me know!). My team builds out our content in one environment where it would be nice to see those pages published, but not publish them when we sync it to our production environment. Currently before we sync to prod, we have to manually disable all entries that are still being worked on. I know that we could modify our queries with status: ["live", "pending"], but I think this would be a cleaner solution
