# porter target

> List and manage deployment targets to control which cluster, namespace, and environment your Porter applications deploy to using the CLI

`porter target` contains commands for managing deployment targets.

## Prerequisites

* You've logged in to the Porter CLI after running [porter auth login](/standard/cli/command-reference/porter-auth)
* You're connected to the correct project by running [porter config set-project](/standard/cli/command-reference/porter-config)
* You're connected to the correct cluster by running [porter config set-cluster](/standard/cli/command-reference/porter-config)

***

## `porter target list`

List all deployment targets in the current cluster.

**Usage:**

```bash theme={null}
porter target list [flags]
```

**Options:**

| Flag        | Description                         |
| ----------- | ----------------------------------- |
| `--preview` | Include preview environment targets |

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash List Targets theme={null}
  porter target list
  ```

  ```bash Include Previews theme={null}
  porter target list --preview
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Info>
  Deployment targets allow you to deploy the same application to different environments (production, staging, preview) within the same cluster.

## Using Targets with Deployments

Specify a target when deploying with `porter apply`:

```bash theme={null}
porter apply -f porter.yaml --target staging
```

<Tip>
  Preview environment targets are automatically created when you set up preview environments. See [Preview Environments](/preview-environments/overview) for more details.
