Based on Vercel Action:

• add input: "vercel-cli" to override to use the previous "now" CLI (latest) instead of "vercel".
• add output: preview-url-host (without https, to use with vercel cleanup API).
• fixed CLI with git comment.

The url of deployment preview.

The url host of deployment preview (without "https://").

The name of deployment name.

The Vercel for GitHub integration automatically deploys your GitHub projects with Vercel, providing Preview Deployment URLs, and automatic Custom Domain updates. link

We would like to to use github actions for build and deploy instead of Vercel.

Set github.enabled: false in vercel.json

{
  "version": 2,
  "public": false,
  "github": {
    "enabled": false
  },
  "builds": [
    { "src": "./public/**", "use": "@now/static" }
  ],
  "routes": [
    { "src": "/(.*)", "dest": "public/$1" }
  ]
}

When set to false, Vercel for GitHub will not deploy the given project regardless of the GitHub app being installed.

vercel.json Example:

{
  "version": 2,
  "scope": "amond",
  "public": false,
  "github": {
    "enabled": false
  },
  "builds": [
    { "src": "./public/**", "use": "@now/static" }
  ],
  "routes": [
    { "src": "/(.*)", "dest": "public/$1" }
  ]
}

You should link a project via Vercel CLI in locally.

When running vercel in a directory for the first time, Vercel CLI needs to know which scope and Project you want to deploy your directory to. You can choose to either link an existing project or to create a new one.

NOTE: Project linking requires at least version 17 of Vercel CLI. If you have an earlier version, please update to the latest version.

vercel

? Set up and deploy “~/web/my-lovely-project”? [Y/n] y
? Which scope do you want to deploy to? My Awesome Team
? Link to existing project? [y/N] y
? What’s the name of your existing project? my-lovely-project
🔗 Linked to awesome-team/my-lovely-project (created .vercel and added it to .gitignore)

Once set up, a new .vercel directory will be added to your directory. The .vercel directory contains both the organization(vercel-org-id) and project(vercel-project-id) id of your project.

{"orgId":"example_org_id","projectId":"example_project_id"}

You can save both values in the secrets setting in your repository. Read the Official documentation if you want further info on how secrets work on Github.

• This is a complete .github/workflow/deploy.yml example.

Set the vercel-project-id and vercel-org-id you found above.

    steps:
