Vercel Deploy

Overview

Adds a Vercel deployment pipeline for preview and production deployments. Builds on the GitHub Workflows module.

Prerequisites

• GitHub Workflows module (implied automatically when using --vercel-deploy)

Installation

npx ds-start init my-app --vercel-deploy
# or add to existing project
npx ds-start add vercel-deploy

Using --vercel-deploy automatically implies --github-workflows.

What It Adds

• vercel.json — Vercel project configuration
• .github/workflows/deploy.yml — Deployment workflow

Environment Variables

These are set as GitHub Actions secrets:

Setup

1. Install the Vercel CLI: npm i -g vercel
2. Link your project: vercel link
3. Copy the org and project IDs from .vercel/project.json
4. Add VERCEL_TOKEN, VERCEL_ORG_ID, and VERCEL_PROJECT_ID as GitHub Actions secrets

Usage

Once configured, deployments happen automatically:

• Pull requests → Preview deployment with a unique URL
• Merge to main → Production deployment

No manual deployment steps required.
