# Helix 1.3.0: Deploy from CI > `helix ci init` generates a GitHub Actions workflow that deploys your project, `helix deploy --wait` fails the job when a deployment fails, and `TRAY_CLI_TOKEN` signs the CLI in without a browser. - Released: 29 Sept 2026 (2026-09-29) - Packages: @trayai/helix-cli@1.3.0 ## Headline changes ### Added: `helix ci init` generates your deploy workflow Run it from the project root and it asks which CI service you use (GitHub Actions today) and how deploys should be triggered: on demand, on every merge, or a two-target strategy with an approval gate before production. It writes the workflow files and prints the one-time GitHub setup. Every target must already have a `projectId` and `workspaceId`, so the command refuses, naming the config file to fix, rather than generate a workflow that provisions a new project on every run. Pass `--provider` and `--strategy` to run it without a terminal. Docs: https://helix.tray.ai/documentation/guides/continuous-deployment/ ### Added: `helix deploy --wait` waits for the rollout `helix deploy` returns as soon as the upload is accepted. Add `--wait` and it keeps polling until the platform finishes rolling out: the command exits 0 once the deployment is ready, and exits 1 with the build errors printed when it fails, so a CI job fails for the right reason. `--wait-interval` and `--wait-timeout` tune the polling. Docs: https://helix.tray.ai/documentation/reference/cli/deploy/ ### Added: `TRAY_CLI_TOKEN` for headless use Set the `TRAY_CLI_TOKEN` environment variable to a Tray API user token and every command uses it instead of a saved `helix login` session. Nothing is written to disk and the token is never refreshed. It is how the generated workflows authenticate, and the token reaches everything in its workspace, so give the API user the lowest role that can still deploy.
