Vercel has a full CLI: vercel. Use it before reaching for the dashboard or the REST API.
- Pull env vars for local dev:
vercel env pull - Inspect a deployment:
vercel inspect <url> - Read runtime logs:
vercel logs <url> - List deployments:
vercel ls - Discover more:
vercel --help
Deploys usually go through git/CI — do not vercel deploy production by hand unless the repo's workflow says so.
