Quick Start

Deploy your first site with just 2 commands.

Static files only: ZeroDeploy serves pre-built HTML, CSS, JS, and assets. Server-side rendering, API routes, and edge functions are not supported. See supported frameworks for static export instructions.
Just need a quick deploy? Use the Drop API — one HTTP call, no login required:
curl -X POST api.zerodeploy.dev/drop -H "Content-Type: text/html" --data-binary @index.html
Sites expire in 72 hours unless claimed. For ongoing projects, continue below.

Prerequisites

Step 1: Install the CLI

Install the ZeroDeploy CLI globally:

npm install -g @zerodeploy/cli

Step 2: Login

Run the login command. This opens your browser to authenticate with GitHub:

zerodeploy login

After authenticating, you’ll see:

Opening browser for GitHub authentication...
Logged in successfully!

Your personal workspace is automatically created using your GitHub username.

Step 3: Deploy

Navigate to your project folder and run deploy:

cd my-project
zerodeploy deploy

On your first deploy, you’ll be prompted to create a site:

No site configured. Create site "my-project"? [Y/n]

Creating site "my-project"...
Created site: my-project.zerodeploy.app
Saved config to zerodeploy.json

Detected: Vite
Deploying: ./dist
Found 42 files (1.2 MB)
Uploading...

Deployment successful!
URL:     https://my-project.zerodeploy.app
Preview: https://abc123-my-project.zerodeploy.app

Just press Enter to accept the suggested site slug, and you’re done!

That’s it!

Your site is now live. Every deployment also gets a unique preview URL that you can share.

For subsequent deploys, just run:

zerodeploy deploy

The config is saved in zerodeploy.json, so you never need to specify options again.
