Deploy your first app.

One command takes your project from your laptop to the global edge.

Authenticate

bash
nimbus login

Opens a browser tab. Approve the login and the CLI stores a scoped token under ~/.nimbus/credentials.

Ship it

  1. Make sure your working tree is clean — the CLI prints a warning otherwise.
  2. Run nimbus deploy from the project root.
  3. Wait a few seconds. You'll get a unique preview URL plus an alias for the production environment.
bash
nimbus deploy --env production
Preview every commit
Connect a Git provider in the dashboard and every push gets its own URL — great for sharing work before promoting it to production.
