tofupilot deploy

The deploy command uploads the linked procedure's local source tree, builds it in the cloud, and streams the build logs to your terminal. By default it creates a preview Deployment — a build artifact you can push to stations later with no rebuild.

tofupilot deploy

Deploy targets Python procedures: the directory must be linked to a procedure (tofupilot link) and contain a pyproject.toml (a uv package). Files matched by .gitignore are not uploaded; .git, venv, and __pycache__ are always excluded.

Production

--prod targets production: once the build is ready, every station linked to the procedure picks it up between runs.

tofupilot deploy --prod

--target=production and --target=preview are explicit equivalents. --yes skips the confirmation prompt for scripted use, and --json prints a single JSON result instead of streaming logs.

Authentication

deploy needs a user login (tofupilot login in the browser). Station setup tokens cannot deploy code.

Traceability

Deployments created this way carry no git commit. The uploaded tarball and its SHA-256 are stored as the audit record and shown on the deployment as "Uploaded from CLI". For production lines that require git traceability, keep using auto-push from the linked repository.
