# GitHub Deployments not updated when using Vercel CLI with github* meta

Hi,

I’m deploying from a GitHub Action using the Vercel CLI with full GitHub-related `--meta` fields, like this in my Github action workflow:

```

          GIT_ORG: ${{ github.repository_owner }}
          GIT_REPO: ${{ github.event.repository.name }}
          GIT_REF:  ${{ github.ref_name }}
          GIT_SHA:  ${{ github.sha }}
          GIT_ACTOR: ${{ github.actor }}
          GIT_COMMIT_MESSAGE: ${{ github.event.head_commit.message }}
          GIT_COMMIT_AUTHOR_NAME: ${{ github.event.head_commit.author.name }}
        run: |
          set -e

          SHORT_MSG="$(printf '%s\n' "$GIT_COMMIT_MESSAGE" | head -n1)"

          vercel deploy \
            --prod \
            --yes \
            --no-wait \
            --token "$VERCEL_TOKEN" \
            -m githubCommitAuthorName="$GIT_COMMIT_AUTHOR_NAME" \
            -m githubCommitMessage="$SHORT_MSG" \
            -m githubCommitOrg="$GIT_ORG" \
            -m githubCommitRef="$GIT_REF" \
            -m githubCommitRepo="$GIT_REPO" \
            -m githubCommitSha="$GIT_SHA" \
            -m githubDeployment="1" \
            -m githubOrg="$GIT_ORG" \
            -m githubRepo="$GIT_REPO" \
            -m githubCommitAuthorLogin="$GIT_ACTOR"


```

In the Vercel dashboard, the deployment correctly shows the Git info (branch, commit, author, etc.), so the meta is being picked up.

However, **the GitHub Deployments tab (in Github) is not updated at all** for these CLI-based deployments.
If I trigger a deployment for the same repo/branch via the Vercel REST API, the GitHub Deployment is created/updated automatically.

Is there any supported way to make CLI-based deployments also update GitHub Deployments (image below) automatically, similar to REST API?
