vercel sandbox

The vercel sandbox command is the entry point for managing Vercel Sandbox from the Vercel CLI. Subcommands include list, create, config, copy, exec, connect, stop, remove, run, snapshot, snapshots, login, and logout. The full command surface is documented in the Sandbox CLI Reference. This page summarizes the entry point and links to the full reference.

terminal
vercel sandbox [subcommand]

Using vercel sandbox to manage Vercel Sandboxes from the terminal.

terminal
vercel sandbox list
List the sandboxes belonging to the current project.
terminal
vercel sandbox create --connect

Create a new sandbox and immediately connect to it in the terminal.

For the full list of subcommands, flags, and examples, see the Sandbox CLI Reference. The Sandbox CLI is modeled on the Docker CLI, so commands like vercel sandbox exec, vercel sandbox copy (alias cp), and vercel sandbox connect (alias ssh) follow familiar shapes. Use vercel sandbox stop to stop the current session of a persistent sandbox (the filesystem is snapshotted and can be resumed). To permanently delete a sandbox along with its snapshots and sessions, use vercel sandbox remove instead.

The following global options can be passed when using the vercel sandbox command:

For more information on global options and their usage, refer to the options section.
