About these scores

OSS scale score is an unbounded metric that log-compresses and weights Stars, Watchers, Forks, and Contributors. Discovery score is the current OSS scale score minus the score at discovery. Update pace is commits in the last 30 days, growth momentum is the OSS scale score difference within the recent observation window, and OSS health is a 0–100 rating based on available recency, Community Health, and release data.

Overview

`vercel/vercel` is Vercel's official open-source monorepo for the Vercel CLI and deployment-related packages. It contains tooling for local development, preview and production deployment, Builders, and other packages that integrate with the hosted Vercel platform.

Features and best fit

Based on official documentation; not hands-on tested · Content checked:

Deploy projects through the Vercel CLI

The npm-distributed vercel command links local projects to Vercel and supports preview and production deployment workflows.

Sources: [2][3]

Develop the CLI and Builders in a shared monorepo

The repository contains the CLI alongside multiple npm packages and Builders, with pnpm and Turborepo used for local development.

Sources: [2]

Useful for Vercel CLI users and contributors to deployment tooling

It fits everyday CLI usage as well as developers investigating or contributing to Builders and related open-source packages.

Separate the open-source repository from the hosted platform

This repository is not a self-hostable copy of the entire Vercel cloud service. Deployments still require the Vercel service, an account, and relevant platform configuration.

Supplemental curator note

This repository is not the complete source for Vercel's hosted cloud platform; it is an open-source monorepo for the Vercel CLI, Builders, and related tooling. Normal usage installs the Node.js CLI with `npm i -g vercel`, while native CLI binaries are separate opt-in packages. Deployments also depend on a Vercel account and the hosted service's terms and configuration.

Try it in 3 steps

  1. 1

    Install the Vercel CLI

    Install the standard Node.js-based Vercel CLI. The native CLI binaries are a separate opt-in package.

    npm i -g vercel
  2. 2

    Create a preview deployment

    Follow the first-run login and project-linking prompts, then verify the preview deployment and project settings.

    cd <project> && vercel
  3. 3

    Deploy to production

    After validating the preview and environment variables, use the same CLI for the production deployment.

    vercel --prod
