4. Add Git remote.
Using the unique address of the GitHub repo you created earlier, configure Git locally with the URI.

5. Add workflow file.
In your project root directory add a **workflow file**
wich will be in **.github/workflows/deploy.yml** -- or simply

6. Install **Vercel cli** globally on your machine 
`npm i -g vercel`
Before you proceed, you need to know your project ID and org ID from Vercel. The simplest way to get this is to link your project to Vercel. You can do this by using `npx vercel link`.

When you ran the command, it will create a `.vercel` folder in your project with a `project.json` file. In that file, you will find the **projectId** and **orgId**, which you can use later in your GitHub Actions workflow.
You can save both values in the secrets input setting in your repository as inputs

Something else you need to configure is to disable GitHub for your project on Vercel. That way, you let Vercel know that you want to take over control, and it will not trigger when you push your code to GitHub.

To disable GitHub, you create a `vercel.json` file in the root of your project (if it does not yet exist), and add the following contents to it:

7. Add values to your repo's **Github Secret**
You'll have to add the following token to your github secrets
**Vercel_Token**
**projectId**
**orgId**
and any other env token or secrets

##To do so.
Navigate to your **Github repository**, click on the settings tab.

Add secrets Name and Value

#######N.B You can add multiple secrets if you prefer




8. Edit workflow file.
in deploy.yml add.. 

If you're adding Enviroment variable e.g **.env.local** add the code bellow 👇.
The example bellow includes a *Mongodb* connections string and database name of which you must have added to your **Github secrets**

  #add env file to .env.local
  - name: Set Env Vars on Vercel Project
    uses: dkershner6/vercel-set-env-action@v1
    with:
      token: ${{ secrets.VERCEL_TOKEN }}
      teamId: ${{ secrets.VERCEL_TEAM_ID }} # optional, without will use personal
      projectName: nexturl # project name in Vercel
      envVariableKeys: MONGODB_URL,MONGODB_DB
    env:
      MONGODB_URL: ${{ secrets.MONGODB_URL }}
      TARGET_MONGODB_URL: preview,development,production 

      TYPE_MONGODB_URL: encrypted # one of [plain, encrypted]
      MONGODB_DB: ${{ secrets.MONGODB_DB }}
      TARGET_MONGODB_DB: preview,development,production
      TYPE_MONGODB_DB: encrypted

proceed to deployement to vercel by add the following code

  # deploy app to vercel
  - name: deploy site to vercel      
    uses: amondnet/vercel-action@v20
    with:
      vercel-token: ${{ secrets.VERCEL_TOKEN }} # Required
      github-token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} #Optional 
      vercel-args: '--prod' #Optional
      vercel-org-id: ${{ secrets.ORG_ID}}  #Required
      vercel-project-id: ${{ secrets.PROJECT_ID}} #Required
