How to use the Vercel CLI

First, you have to create a free account on Vercel

Install the tool

You probably need to configure your shell for npm with

PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.npm/bin"
export npm_config_prefix="$HOME/.npm"

After that, just install vercel globally

npm i -g vercel@latest

Login to your account

vercel login

Short configurations

vercel telemetry status
vercel telemetry disable

Deploy a new project from a directory

For a single repo with one project.

cd lolthway
vercel

You will have some question/answer:

> Create a new project
> Name? lolthway
> Connect this Git repository to automatically deploy changes on every push? y
> Detected Astro (dist)
> Customize settings? N

After all that, your project should be deployed at the address https://lolthway.vercel.app

Add environment variable

vercel env ls
vercel env add SITE_URL

And write the value you want e.g: https://lolthway.vercel.app/

Link your project to a Git(hub) repository

vercel link

Like this, every commit will trigger a new deployment to Vercel.

Deploy

See if all is ok with:

vercel deploy

And if no error:

vercel deploy --prod

Manage other projects

vercel project ls
vercel project add
vercel project rm
vercel project inspect [project-name]

Logout

vercel logout
