Neon CLI command: deploy

Apply a neon.ts policy to a branch

The deploy command applies a neon.ts policy to a branch. It is a top-level alias of neon config apply, with the same options.

Bash

neon deploy [options]

Option	Description	Type	Default	Required
`--allow-protected`	Auto-confirm applying to a branch marked protected on Neon	boolean	`false`	No
`--branch`	Branch ID or name	string	—	No
`--config`	Path to a neon.ts policy (defaults to walking up from cwd)	string	—	No
`--env`	Path to a .env file to load into the environment before evaluating neon.ts so Function env values resolve from it. Existing env vars are not overridden. Function env values that read process.env must be set in this file or the environment.	string	—	No
`--env-pull`	Pull the branch's Neon env vars (DATABASE_URL, …) into a local .env after a successful apply. On by default; use --no-env-pull to skip (e.g. when injecting env at runtime with `neon-env run` / `neon dev`).	boolean	`true`	No
`--project-id`	Project ID	string	—	No
`--update-existing`	Auto-confirm overriding existing remote settings on the branch	boolean	`false`	No

For non-interactive use (scripts, CI, agents), pass --update-existing and --allow-protected to auto-confirm the corresponding prompts.

Bash

neon deploy --branch feature/auth --update-existing
