astro deployment variable create

Reference documentation for astro deployment variable create.

This command is only available on Astro.

For a given Deployment on Astro, create environment variables in the Astro CLI by supplying either a key and value pair or a file (for example, .env) with a list of keys and values. This command is functionally identical to creating an environment variable in the Astro UI. See Set Environment Variables on Astro.

Usage

astro deployment variable create <key>=<value>

This command is recommended for automated workflows. To run this command in an automated process such as a CI/CD pipeline, you can generate an API token, then specify the ASTRO_API_TOKEN environment variable in the system running the Astro CLI:

export ASTRO_API_TOKEN=<your-token>

See Organization, Workspace, and Deployment API token documentation for more details about ways to use API tokens.
