# Deploying to Production
Use this workflow when a user says "deploy this website/app" or similar. Follow the checklist in order and do not skip steps.
## Deployment Workflow
- [ ] Step 1: Run build and verify no errors
- [ ] Step 2: Create GitHub repository
- [ ] Step 3: Push code to GitHub
- [ ] Step 4: Deploy to Vercel
- [ ] Step 5: Verify deployment
### Step 1: Run build
Run:
`npm run build`
If build fails, read the errors, fix issues, and run again. Only proceed when build succeeds.
### Step 2: Create GitHub repository
Create a new GitHub repository for the project. If the repo already exists, confirm whether to reuse or create a new one.
### Step 3: Push code to GitHub
Initialize git if needed, add remote, and push the default branch. Confirm the repository contains the expected code.
### Step 4: Deploy to Vercel
Deploy the GitHub repo to Vercel. Capture the deployment URL.
### Step 5: Verify deployment
Verify the live deployment by opening the URL or checking a response. If verification fails, diagnose and redeploy.
