Improved

Create new services from the Render CLI

You (and your agents) can now create new services directly from the terminal using the Render CLI's services create command:

bash

render services create \
  --name hello-world \
  --type web_service \
  --runtime node \
  --region virginia \
  --plan free \
  --repo https://github.com/render-examples/express-hello-world \
  --branch main \
  --build-command "yarn" \
  --start-command "node app.js" \
  --output json

As shown, you provide your service's initial configuration (service type, runtime, region, etc.) as individual options to this command.

For all supported options, run render help services create or see the generated command reference.

Get started with the Render CLI in the docs.
