how to deploy custom github branch on vercel

Question

Is there a way to select a custom branch to deploy ? I do not seem to be able to select a branch and it takes the default main branch

thanks in advance

Answer 1

Vercel automatically deploys any commit you push to a branch.

You can also customize which branch is used as the Production Branch in the project settings: Go to Project Settings > Git > Production Branch

Answer 2

If you want to deploy a branch without pushing a commit, you can use vercel-cli. To re-deploy the preview environment:

vercel --force

To re-deploy the production environment:

vercel --prod --force

If you haven't setup vercel-cli yet check Vercel's CLI document
