How to Deploy with Gemini CLI

Streamline your deployment process using Gemini CLI to manage build steps, environment configurations, and deployment automation.

1. 1

   Create a Deployment Skill

   Define a deployment skill in .gemini/skills/deploy/ that encodes your deployment pipeline steps, environment requirements, and pre-deployment checks.

2. 2

   Configure Environment Targets

   Set up environment-specific configurations for staging, production, and development. Store non-sensitive config in your project and reference secrets from environment variables.

3. 3

   Run Pre-Deployment Checks

   Use Gemini to verify your build is clean, tests pass, and no security vulnerabilities exist before initiating deployment. Automate these checks in your skill.

4. 4

   Execute the Deployment

   Trigger deployment with your skill command. Gemini orchestrates the build, runs migrations if needed, and deploys to your target platform (Vercel, AWS, GCP, etc.).

5. 5

   Verify Post-Deployment

   After deployment, use Gemini to run smoke tests against the live environment, check health endpoints, and verify critical user flows are working correctly.
