## deploy

The `forest deploy` command enables you to apply some layout changes to your [reference](https://docs.forestadmin.com/documentation/reference-guide/how-it-works/using-branches#what-is-a-branch) environment.

```
$ forest deploy --help

Deploy layout changes of the current branch to the reference one.

USAGE
  forest deploy

OPTIONS
  --force                  Skip confirmations.
  --help                   Display usage information.
```

#### Deploying your changes

It is paramount to understand this command before using it:

<figure><img src="https://2014605362-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fx9GURwd0RAwi8uWZgH5v%2Fuploads%2FP1f7My37zbmjYTWEtQsY%2Fthe_deploy.jpg?alt=media&#x26;token=c28de604-90b8-4c22-ba91-5a7626930cdd" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

As you can see in the above figure, the layout changes (Δ) located in your local branch `my-branch` will be **irreversibly applied** to your Production layout. Since your remotes' layout are based on your production's layout, the changes will appear there too.

To deploy, simply run `forest deploy`:

```
$ forest deploy
```

{% hint style="info" %}
To be able to deploy the origin of the branch should be the reference environment (eg: production)
{% endhint %}

#### Deploy from the UI

This is possible **only from a remote** which have the reference environment as origin:
