Vercel Deploy & GitHub Operations Log

Sample output from the vibe-coder skill — the production deploy walk-through from the request "Promote the FutureStack site to production. Add the apex domain. Wire the GitHub Action for Lighthouse on every PR."

1. Promote to production

$ vercel link

$ vercel --prod

✅  Production: https://futurestack2026.dev [4s]

2. Add custom domains (apex + www)

$ vercel domains add futurestack2026.dev
✓ futurestack2026.dev added (verifying DNS — A record to 76.76.21.21)

$ vercel domains add www.futurestack2026.dev
✓ www.futurestack2026.dev added (CNAME to cname.vercel-dns.com)

$ vercel domains inspect futurestack2026.dev
Domain        futurestack2026.dev

$ vercel env add STRIPE_SECRET_KEY production
$ vercel env add STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET production
