git push -u origin mainWhat it does
Vercel deploys from a Git repository, building automatically on every push.
Why you need it
Connecting Git gives you automatic deploys and a preview URL per pull request.
Alternatives: GitLab or Bitbucket also work; or deploy from the Vercel CLI.
# https://vercel.com/new → select your repoWhat it does
Vercel auto-detects the framework (Next.js, Vite, etc.) and configures the build.
Why you need it
Zero-config: it knows how to build most frameworks out of the box.
# Project → Settings → Environment VariablesWhat it does
Set secrets like DATABASE_URL and API keys for the build and runtime.
Why you need it
Your app's secrets aren't in the repo, so the host needs them separately.
# Click Deploy (or push a commit)What it does
Vercel builds and serves your app on a global edge network with a public URL.
Why you need it
Your app is now live and updates automatically on every push.
