The Hardhat Ignition CLI provides a set of commands to interact with the deployment process. The following is a list of available commands:

- [`deploy`](#deploy): Deploy a module to the specified network
- [`deployments`](#deployments): List all deployment IDs
- [`migrate`](#migrate): Migrate artifacts to the new Hardhat 3 format
- [`status`](#status): Show the current status of a deployment
- [`track-tx`](#track-tx): Track a transaction that is missing from a given deployment. Only use if a Hardhat Ignition error message suggests to do so.
- [`transactions`](#transactions): Show all transactions for a given deployment
- [`verify`](#verify): Verify contracts from a deployment against the configured block explorers
- [`visualize`](#visualize): Visualize a module as an HTML report
- [`wipe`](#wipe): Reset a deployment's future to allow rerunning

## `deploy`
