Aliases

Aliases are used to simplify communication with a Drift instance. This way, users don't have to type the IP address or hostname and credentials for the Drift instance each time they want to use it.

To create an alias, use the following drift-cli command:

drift-cli alias add local

Alternatively, you can provide the URL and API token for the storage engine as options:

drift-cli alias  add -a 127.0.0.1 -p password -b bucket local

Browsing aliases

Once you've created an alias, you can use the drift-cli alias command to view it in a list or check its credentials:

```shell
drift-cli alias ls
drift-cli alias show local

Removing an alias

To remove an alias, use the rm subcommand of drift-cli alias:

drift-cli alias rm play
