I Shipped a Website Update Without Opening an IDE (Codex + GitHub + Vercel)

Описание: In this video, I walk through how to make a real production update to a website using the OpenAI Codex website — without opening an IDE or terminal.

We go from a natural-language prompt → code changes → pull request → Vercel preview → production deploy.

This is especially useful for small, low-risk website updates where spinning up a full dev environment feels heavy — or when you want to make changes from a phone or tablet.

In this walkthrough, you’ll see:
Connecting OpenAI Codex to a GitHub repository (one-time setup)
Prompting Codex to make a UI change
Reviewing the generated code diff
Automatically creating a pull request
Previewing the change with Vercel
Merging the PR to deploy to production

This isn’t about replacing normal software development workflows.

It’s about handling those last-minute or lightweight updates quickly — things like fixing a typo, updating a link, or tweaking UI behavior — without context switching into a full dev setup.

Curious what you’d update this way?
Comment with the one website change you wish you could ship from your phone.
