Skill Verified Active

Guide for using the Netlify CLI and deploying sites. Use when installing the CLI, linking sites, deploying (Git-based or manual), managing environment variables, or running local development. Covers netlify dev, netlify deploy, Git vs non-Git workflows, and environment variable management.

Purpose

To guide users on effectively leveraging the Netlify CLI for site setup, deployment, and development environment configuration.

Features

  • Netlify CLI installation and authentication
  • Site linking and project setup
  • Git-based and manual deployment workflows
  • Local development server setup
  • Environment variable management and scoping

Use Cases

  • When installing the Netlify CLI for the first time
  • When linking a local project to a Netlify site
  • When deploying a website manually or via Git
  • When managing environment variables for different deploy contexts
  • When setting up a local development environment with Netlify features

Non-Goals

  • Deep dives into specific framework configurations beyond Netlify's integration points
  • Managing Netlify platform settings outside of the CLI's capabilities
  • Advanced CI/CD pipeline configuration beyond basic Git-based deployment triggers

Workflow

  1. Install Netlify CLI
  2. Authenticate with Netlify
  3. Link local project to a Netlify site
  4. Configure and perform deployments (Git-based or manual)
  5. Manage environment variables
  6. Set up local development environment

Prerequisites

  • info:Dependency ManagementThe skill relies on Node.js and npm, but there are no explicit vulnerability checks or automated update mechanisms mentioned for these dependencies.

Execution

  • info:Pinned dependenciesThe skill notes a requirement for Node.js 18.14.0+ but does not specify pinned versions for npm dependencies or the Netlify CLI itself.
  • info:Pinned dependenciesWhile Node.js 18.14.0+ is specified, explicit pinning of Netlify CLI or other npm dependencies is not detailed, which could lead to issues with future updates.
