Covers adding a project alias with `firebase use --add`, switching between environments with `firebase use `, and deploying to a specific environment using the `-P` flag or `firebase deploy -P staging`. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How do I deploy to a staging environment using the Firebase CLI? Add a second Firebase project as an alias using `firebase use --add`, select the project from the list, and name it something like 'staging'. Then deploy to it directly with `firebase deploy -P staging`, or switch the active environment first with `firebase use staging` followed by `firebase deploy`. _Teams setting up safer release workflows can track Firebase Hosting tips like this on daily.dev._ ### How can I switch between multiple Firebase projects from the command line? Use the `firebase use` command with the alias name, for example `firebase use default` or `firebase use staging`, to switch the active project context. Aliases are created once via `firebase use --add`, after which any `firebase deploy` targets whichever alias is currently active. _daily.dev helps developers keep up with CLI workflow changes across hosting platforms like Firebase._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [How To Set Up a Staging Environment on Heroku in 3 Easy Steps](https://daily.dev/posts/how-to-set-up-a-staging-environment-on-heroku-in-3-easy-steps-b09rmdwva) · Heroku · 1 upvotes · 1 comments - [How to Build a Production-Ready Flutter CI/CD Pipeline with GitHub Actions: Quality Gates, Environments, and Store Deployment](https://daily.dev/posts/how-to-build-a-production-ready-flutter-ci-cd-pipeline-with-github-actions-quality-gates-environme-rpmoo0tv7) · freeCodeCamp · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Managing Stages and Environments](https://daily.dev/posts/managing-stages-and-environments-2ysv40yn1) · Serverless · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Using Flutter with Firebase: A Developer's Guide](https://daily.dev/posts/using-flutter-with-firebase-a-developer-s-guide-jbpavk3vl) · Flutter Community · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#cicd](https://daily.dev/tags/cicd), [#cli](https://daily.dev/tags/cli), [#firebase](https://daily.dev/tags/firebase) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/deploy-to-multiple-environments-with-firebase-hosting-hh6rtnssu) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Deploy to multiple environments with Firebase Hosting","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/deploy-to-multiple-environments-with-firebase-hosting-hh6rtnssu","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/deploy-to-multiple-environments-with-firebase-hosting-hh6rtnssu"},"datePublished":"2026-08-23T12:20:18.087Z","dateModified":"2026-08-23T12:32:24.545Z","description":"A walkthrough of using the Firebase CLI to set up and deploy to multiple environments (development, staging, production) with Firebase Hosting.
