You rarely create branches manually. They appear when work needs them:

- **On deploy**: `app deploy --branch feature/search` creates the branch if it doesn't exist.
- **On deploy**: `composer deploy --branch feature/search` creates the branch if it doesn't exist.
- **From GitHub**: when a repo is connected, branch and push events create or update the matching platform branch automatically. To set this up, see the [GitHub integration docs](/compute/github).

Connecting GitHub doesn't create branches retroactively; it aligns your default branch with the repo's default branch and wires up automation for future events.

- **Reproducible deploys.** Pin the framework, port, and build settings so every deploy (yours, a teammate's, or [deploy-on-push](/compute/github)) does the same thing without re-passing flags.

Your first deployment is promoted to production automatically. After that, every production deploy needs an explicit `--prod` flag, so you don't ship to production by accident:

```npm
npx @prisma/cli@latest app deploy --prod
npx @prisma/cli@next composer deploy --prod
```

Without `--prod`, a deploy that resolves to the production branch and already has a live production deployment fails with `PROD_DEPLOY_REQUIRES_FLAG`. With `--prod`, the CLI shows the current live deployment and asks you to confirm before replacing it.

For scripts and CI, pass both flags so nothing waits on a prompt:

```npm
npx @prisma/cli@latest app deploy --prod --yes

In non-interactive mode, a `--prod` deploy without `--yes` fails with `CONFIRMATION_REQUIRED`. Preview deploys never need `--prod` and never ask.

Promotion makes an existing deployment live behind the app's endpoint. If the deployment is stopped, it's started first and promoted once it's running. Nothing is rebuilt: environment variables are baked in when a deployment is created, so a promoted deployment keeps the config it was built with. To build a deployment without making it live, deploy with `--no-promote` and promote it later.

Roll back to the previous deployment, or a specific one. Rollback works the same way — it reuses an existing build and just targets the previous deployment, so there is no rebuild step between you and a known-good state:

```npm
npx @prisma/cli@latest app rollback --app web
npx @prisma/cli@latest app rollback --app web --to dep_123
