Deployment Steps

1. Vercel Account Setup

# Install Vercel CLI
npm i -g vercel

# Login to Vercel
vercel login

2. Link Repository to Vercel

Option A: Via Vercel Dashboard

  1. Go to https://vercel.com/new
  2. Import Git Repository
  3. Select: christophernemala/tutorialkit
  4. Configure project:
    • Framework Preset: Other
    • Build Command: pnpm install && pnpm build
    • Output Directory: docs/tutorialkit.dev/dist
    • Install Command: pnpm install --frozen-lockfile

Option B: Via CLI

cd /path/to/tutorialkit
vercel link

3. Configure Environment Variables

In Vercel Dashboard → Settings → Environment Variables:

NODE_VERSION=18.18.0
PNPM_VERSION=8.15.6
NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=4096
ASTRO_TELEMETRY_DISABLED=1
ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_COREPACK=1

4. Get Vercel Credentials

# Link project first
vercel link

# Get credentials from .vercel/project.json
cat .vercel/project.json

Copy these values:

  • orgId → VERCEL_ORG_ID
  • projectId → VERCEL_PROJECT_ID

Create Vercel token:

5. Add GitHub Secrets

Go to: https://github.com/christophernemala/tutorialkit/settings/secrets/actions

Add secrets:

  • VERCEL_TOKEN
  • VERCEL_ORG_ID
  • VERCEL_PROJECT_ID

6. Trigger Deployment

# Commit and push to trigger CI/CD
git add .
git commit -m "feat: configure production deployment"
git push origin main

Or deploy manually:

vercel --prod
