# hydrogen deploy
Builds and deploys your Hydrogen storefront to Oxygen. Requires an Oxygen deployment token to be set with the `--token` flag or an environment variable (`SHOPIFY_HYDROGEN_DEPLOYMENT_TOKEN`). If the storefront is [linked](/docs/api/shopify-cli/hydrogen/hydrogen-link) then the Oxygen deployment token for the linked storefront will be used automatically.
