Develop. Preview. Ship.
Vercel's frontend cloud gives developers frameworks, workflows, and infrastructure to build a faster, more personalized web.
To install the latest version of Vercel CLI, run this command:
npm i -g vercel
To quickly start a new project, run the following commands:
vercel init # Pick an example project
cd <PROJECT> # Change directory to the new project
vercel # Deploy to the cloud
Finally, connect your Git repository to Vercel and deploy with git push
.
For details on how to use Vercel CLI, check out our documentation.
To develop Vercel CLI, first check out the source code, install dependencies, and build all packages:
git clone https://github.com/vercel/vercel.git
cd vercel
pnpm install
pnpm build
At this point you can make modifications to the CLI source code and test them out locally. The CLI source code is located in the packages/cli
directory.
cd packages/cli
From within the packages/cli
directory, you can use the "dev" script to quickly execute Vercel CLI from its TypeScript source code directly (without having to manually compile first). For example:
pnpm dev deploy
pnpm dev whoami
pnpm dev login
pnpm dev switch --debug
