Alias commands for Salesforce CLI
This plugin is bundled with the Salesforce CLI. For more information on the CLI, read the getting started guide.
We always recommend using the latest version of these commands bundled with the CLI, however, you can install a specific version or tag if needed.
sfdx plugins:install alias@x.y.z
Please report any issues at https://github.com/forcedotcom/cli/issues
External contributors will be required to sign a Contributor's License Agreement. You can do so by going to https://cla.salesforce.com/sign-cla.
To build the plugin locally, make sure to have yarn installed and run the following commands:
# Clone the repository
git clone git@github.com:salesforcecli/plugin-alias

To use your plugin, run using the local ./bin/dev or ./bin/dev.cmd file.
# Run using local run file.
./bin/dev alias
There should be no differences when running via the Salesforce CLI or using the local run file. However, it can be useful to link the plugin to do some additional testing or run your commands from anywhere on your machine.
