Aliases

You can assign an alias to a Datasette instance using the dclient alias add command:

dclient alias add latest https://latest.datasette.io

You can list aliases with dclient alias list:

$ dclient alias list
  latest = https://latest.datasette.io

Once registered, you can pass an alias to commands using the -i flag:

dclient query fixtures "select * from news limit 1" -i latest
