Introduced 2026-05-07 · score 0.96

HOW TO USE IT

When the repository has Firestore search index configuration to deploy, run `firebase deploy --only firestore` from the project directory.

WHY THIS HELPS

Deploy a repository's Firestore search index configuration.

REQUIREMENTS AND LIMITATIONS

• Version: v15.17.0
• --only firestore (required): Scopes deployment to Cloud Firestore Security Rules and indexes for configured databases.
• Prerequisite: Run from a Firebase project directory containing `firebase.json`; Firebase CLI docs say to set up a Firebase project before using the CLI.
• Prerequisite: Configure the index file in `firebase.json`; the CLI’s default index filename is `firestore.indexes.json`.
