to make them available to your turbo
commands.
TURBO_TOKEN
- The Bearer token to access the Remote CacheTURBO_TEAM
- The account to which the monorepo belongs
To use Vercel Remote Caching, you can get the value of these variables in a few steps:
- Create a Scoped Access Token to your account in the Vercel Dashboard
Copy the value to a safe place. You'll need it in a moment.
- Go to your GitHub repository settings and click on the Secrets and then Actions tab. Create a new secret called
TURBO_TOKEN
and enter the value of your Scoped Access Token.
-
Make a second secret called
TURBO_TEAM
and enter the value of your team's Vercel URL without thevercel.com/
. Your Team URL can be found inside your team's general project settings from the dashboard.If you're using a Hobby Plan, you can use your username. Your username can be found in your Vercel Personal Account Settings
