## 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:
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:
To deploy your latest layout changes from a remote environment, you may use the **top banner link**: "Deploy to ...".
