Render CLI

The Render CLI manages services, databases, and deployments from the terminal. Supports interactive use, non-interactive scripting, and CI/CD automation.

Before installing, authenticating, selecting a workspace, or running commands, read references/render-access.md for the current access and command-discovery workflow.

When to Use

• Deploying a service from the terminal or CI/CD
• Tailing logs in real time
• Opening psql to a Render Postgres database
• SSHing into a running service or launching an ephemeral shell
• Validating a render.yaml Blueprint
• Scripting Render operations in CI/CD pipelines
• Installing agent skills for AI coding tools

Command Reference
