# Deploy to Vercel
Deploy any project to Vercel. **Always deploy as preview** (not production) unless the user explicitly asks for production.
The goal is to get the user into the best long-term setup: their project linked to Vercel with git-push deploys. Every method below tries to move the user closer to that state.
## Step 1: Gather Project State
Run all four checks before deciding which method to use:
```bash
# 1. Check for a git remote
git remote get-url origin 2>/dev/null
# 2. Check if locally linked to a Vercel project (either file means linked)
cat .vercel/project.json 2>/dev/null || cat .vercel/repo.json 2>/dev/null
# 3. Check if the Vercel CLI is installed and authenticated
vercel whoami 2>/dev/null
# 4. List available teams (if authenticated)
vercel teams list --format json 2>/dev/null
```
### Team selection
If the user belongs to multiple teams, present all available team slugs as a bulleted list and ask which one to deploy to. Once the user picks a team, proceed immediately to the next step — do not ask for additional confirmation.
Pass the team slug via `--scope` on all subsequent CLI commands (`vercel deploy`, `vercel link`, `vercel inspect`, etc.):
```bash
vercel deploy [path] -y --no-wait --scope <team-slug>
```
If the project is already linked (`.vercel/project.json` or `.vercel/repo.json` exists), the `orgId` in those files determines the team — no need to ask again. If there is only one team (or just a personal account), skip the prompt and use it directly.
**About the `.vercel/` directory:** A linked project has either:
- `.vercel/project.json` — created by `vercel link` (single project linking). Contains `projectId` and `orgId`.
- `.vercel/repo.json`
