This is useful if you want to retrieve the environment's details, such as its status or tracked branch. ### With Flags ```bash mcloud environments get --organization org_123 --project proj_123 ``` ### Using mcloud use ```bash # Run once: mcloud use --organization org_123 --project proj_123 mcloud environments get ``` Returns the following information: ### Plaintext ```bash ID: Name: Production Handle: Type: production / long-lived / preview Status: ready Default subdomain: trusting-soft-form Custom subdomain: acme Custom domain: acme.com Tracked branch: main Project: Created at: 2024-10-10T08:24:32.382Z ``` ### JSON (--json) ```json { "id": "", "project_id": "", "handle": "", "name": "Production", "type": "production", "default_subdomain": "trusting-soft-form", "custom_subdomain": "acme", "default_domain": "trusting-soft-form.medusajs.app", "custom_domain": "acme.com", "created_at": "2024-10-10T08:24:32.382Z", "updated_at": "2024-10-10T08:24:32.382Z", "external_id": "main", "status": "ready", "metadata": null, "project": { "id": "", "name": "My Store", "handle": "", "region": "us-east-1", "organization_id": "", "repository": "myuser/my-repo", "root_path": "/apps/backend", "status": "ready", "created_by": "", "created_at": "2024-10-10T08:24:32.382Z", "updated_at": "2024-10-10T08:24:32.382Z", "deleted_at": null, "metadata": { "arch": "arm64" }, "builds": [], "environments": [] }, "builds": [], "deployments": [], "variables": [], "configuration": { "read_replica_database_url": "postgresql://:@/?channel_binding=require&sslmode=require", "tent_handle": "", "s3_file_url": "https://s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/", "s3_endpoint": "https://s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com", "upstash_external_id": "" }, "rules": null, "active_deployment": null } ``` ### Arguments |Option|Description|Required| |---|---|---| |\`environment\`|The handle of the environment to retrieve.|Yes| ### Options |Option|Description|Required|Default| |---|---|---|---| |\`-o \\`|The |Yes|Falls back to the organization in the | |\`-p \\`|The |Yes|Falls back to the project in the | |\`--json\`|Print the result as JSON instead of formatted text.|No|\`false\`| *** ## environments create Create a new [long-lived environment](https://docs.medusajs.com/environments/long-lived) for a project. You must already have a branch in your repository to track. The environment will be deployed and updated with every push to the tracked branch. ### With Flags ```bash mcloud environments create \ --organization org_123 \ --project proj_123 \ --name "Staging" \ --branch develop ``` ### Using mcloud use ```bash # Run once: mcloud use --organization org_123 --project proj_123 mcloud environments create \ --name "Staging" \ --branch develop ``` ### Options |Option|Description|Required|Default| |---|---|---|---| |\`-o \\`|The |Yes|Falls back to the organization in the | |\`-p \\`|The |Yes|Falls back to the project in the | |\`-n \\`|Display name for the new environment.|Yes|-| |\`-b \\`|The Git branch this environment tracks. Pushes to this branch trigger new deployments.|Yes|-| |\`--custom-subdomain \\`|Custom subdomain|No|-| |\`--json\`|Print the result as JSON instead of formatted text.|No|\`false\`| *** ## environments delete Delete an environment by its handle. Deleting an environment is irreversible and removes all associated deployments and resources. Production environments cannot be deleted. ### With Flags ```bash mcloud environments delete --organization org_123 --project proj_123 ``` ### Using mcloud use ```bash # Run once: mcloud use --organization org_123 --project proj_123 mcloud environments delete ``` ### Arguments |Option|Description|Required| |---|---|---| |\`environment\`|The handle of the environment to delete.|Yes| ### Options |Option|Description|Required|Default| |---|---|---|---| |\`-o \\`|The |Yes|Falls back to the organization in the | |\`-p \\`|The |Yes|Falls back to the project in the | |\`-y\`|Skip the confirmation prompt. Use this in scripts and pipelines where interactive input is not possible.|No|\`false\`| |\`--json\`|Print the result as JSON instead of formatted text.|No|\`false\`| *** ## environments redeploy Redeploy an environment using its current active deployment build. This is useful when you want to roll back to a previous deployment or re-run the active deployment without triggering a new build. ### With Flags ```bash mcloud environments redeploy --organization org_123 --project proj_123 ``` ### Using mcloud use ```bash # Run once: mcloud use --organization org_123 --project proj_123 mcloud environments redeploy ``` The environment must already have an active deployment. If it doesn't, run [`mcloud environments trigger-build`](#environments-trigger-build) first to create one. ### Arguments |Option|Description|Required| |---|---|---| |\`environment\`|The handle of the environment to redeploy.|Yes| ### Options |Option|Description|Required|Default| |---|---|---|---| |\`-o \\`|The |Yes|Falls back to the organization in the | |\`-p \\`|The |Yes|Falls back to the project in the | |\`--json\`|Print the result as JSON instead of formatted text.|No|\`false\`| *** ## environments trigger-build Start a new build for an environment from its tracked branch. This is the equivalent of pushing a commit to the tracked branch but without requiring a Git push. ### With Flags ```bash mcloud environments trigger-build --organization org_123 --project proj_123 ``` ### Using mcloud use ```bash # Run once: mcloud use --organization org_123 --project proj_123 mcloud environments trigger-build ``` ### Arguments |Option|Description|Required| |---|---|---| |\`environment\`|The handle of the environment to build.|Yes| ### Options |Option|Description|Required|Default| |---|---|---|---| |\`-o \\`|The |Yes|Falls back to the organization in the | |\`-p \\`|The |Yes|Falls back to the project in the | |\`--json\`|Print the result as JSON instead of formatted text.|No|\`false\`| *** ## Find Environment Handles Commands that operate on environments require an environment handle. You can either: - Use the interactive selector in [mcloud use](https://docs.medusajs.com/cli/commands/use#set-the-active-context) to set an active environment for the current context. Once set, you can omit the `--environment` flag from all subsequent commands; - Or use `environments list --json` to get machine-readable environment data. Pipe the output to `jq` to extract handles for use in subsequent commands. This is useful if you want to set the active environment through an AI agent, script, or CI/CD pipeline. For example, to set the first environment in the list as the active environment: ### macOS / Linux ```bash ENVIRONMENT_HANDLE=$( mcloud environments list --json \ | jq -r '.[0].handle' ) mcloud use --environment "$ENVIRONMENT_HANDLE" ``` ### Windows (PowerShell) ```powershell $ENVIRONMENT_HANDLE = ( mcloud environments list --json | jq -r '.[0].handle' ) mcloud use --environment $ENVIRONMENT_HANDLE ``` To set an environment by name as the active environment: ### macOS / Linux ```bash ENVIRONMENT_HANDLE=$( mcloud environments list --json \ | jq -r '.[] | select(.name == "Staging") | .handle' ) mcloud use --environment "$ENVIRONMENT_HANDLE" ``` ### Windows (PowerShell) ```powershell $ENVIRONMENT_HANDLE = ( mcloud environments list --json | jq -r '.[] | select(.name == "Staging") | .handle' ) mcloud use --environment $ENVIRONMENT_HANDLE ``` Once set, you can omit the `--environment` flag from all subsequent commands. *** ## Manage Environments in a CI/CD Pipeline You can provision and tear down environments automatically as branches are created and deleted in your repository. This is useful for staging environments that mirror production, or for short-lived feature-branch environments used for testing and review. For example, the following GitHub Actions workflow: - Creates a Cloud environment when a branch is pushed - Deletes it when the branch is removed. ```yaml title=".github/workflows/cloud-environments.yml" name: Cloud Environments on: create: branches-ignore: - main delete: branches-ignore: - main env: MCLOUD_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.MCLOUD_TOKEN }} jobs: create-environment: if: github.event_name == 'create' && github.event.ref_type == 'branch' runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - name: Install the Cloud CLI run: npm install -g @medusajs/mcloud - name: Create Cloud environment run: | mcloud environments create \ --organization org_123 \ --project proj_123 \ --name "${{ github.event.ref }}" \ --branch "${{ github.event.ref }}" \ --custom-subdomain "my-store-${{ github.event.ref }}" delete-environment: if: github.event_name == 'delete' && github.event.ref_type == 'branch' runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - name: Install the Cloud CLI run: npm install -g @medusajs/mcloud - name: Delete Cloud environment run: | mcloud environments delete "${{ github.event.ref }}" \ --organization org_123 \ --project proj_123 \ --yes ``` The `create-environment` job runs `mcloud environments create` with the branch name as both the environment name and tracked branch. The `delete-environment` job runs `mcloud environments delete` with `--yes` to skip the confirmation prompt, which is required for non-interactive environments like CI runners. --- The best way to deploy Medusa is through Medusa Cloud where you get autoscaling production infrastructure fine tuned for Medusa.
