Vercel CLI

Vercel's official CLI. Deploy any commit to a preview URL, manage environment variables per environment, link projects, inspect logs and promote to production — all scriptable. TerminalSync keeps deploy commands and encrypted project env files with the terminal.

What it does

vercel is the entry point to the Vercel platform from the terminal. Deploy a folder to a preview URL, pull or push environment variables, link a project, tail function logs, promote a deployment to production, run vercel build --prebuilt in CI — all from one binary. Works equally well for personal hobby projects and team accounts.

What TerminalSync adds

  • Deploy runbook. Install, login, preview and production deploy commands stay attached to the project terminal.
  • Env vault. When you vercel env pull into a TerminalSync folder, the resulting .env.local can be encrypted into the folder vault. Your secrets follow the folder without leaking into Drive in plaintext.
  • Session memory. Your AI remembers which Vercel project + environment you're targeting, so "redeploy preview" doesn't need clarification.

Typical commands

vercel                          # deploy current dir as preview
vercel --prod                   # promote to production
vercel env pull .env.local
vercel env add MY_SECRET production
vercel inspect <url>
vercel logs <url>
How does sync work? Today TerminalSync syncs GitHub CLI through a dedicated Auth Sync flow. For the other CLIs, this page gives you install, login and recommended commands; project secrets that land in .env files can travel through the folder's encrypted vault. Automatic per-CLI auth sync is a future layer.
