# Advanced deployment

The default [`baas deploy`](/baas-cli/deploy.md) flow uses a relayer (no private key). When you need full control (your own RPC endpoint and private key, or a Foundry deployment script), use one of these passthrough commands. Both register the deployed contract(s) with BaaS afterwards.

## `baas deploy create`

Deploys a single contract with `forge create`, exposing all of its flags.

```bash
baas deploy create src/Token.sol:MyToken \
  --rpc-url $RPC_URL \
  --private-key $PRIVATE_KEY \
  --constructor-args "My Token" "MTK" 18
```

All `forge create` flags are supported (`--verify`, `--gas-limit`, `--evm-version`, …). A few flags are added for you:

* `--broadcast` — added if absent (so the deployment actually happens).
* `--json` — added if absent (stable machine-readable output).
* `--gas-price 0 --priority-gas-price 0` — added when deploying to the BaaS network.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Put `--constructor-args` **last**, because `forge` consumes every argument after it as a constructor value.
{% endhint %}

## `baas deploy script`

Runs a Foundry deployment script and registers **all** the contracts it creates with BaaS.

```bash
baas deploy script script/Deploy.s.sol \
  --rpc-url $RPC_URL \
  --private-key $PRIVATE_KEY
```

`--broadcast` is added if absent (and `--with-gas-price 0 --priority-gas-price 0` on the BaaS network).

{% hint style="warning" %}
With these commands, **you** manage the private key, unlike the relayer flow. Pass it from an environment variable (`--private-key $PRIVATE_KEY`), never hard-code it, and never commit it. See [Configuration](/baas-cli/reference/configuration.md#environment-variables).
{% endhint %}

## Next

* [Deploy a contract](/baas-cli/deploy.md) — the default relayer flow (no private key).
* [Configuration](/baas-cli/reference/configuration.md) — credentials and environment variables.
