sfdx: Authorize a Salesforce Organization.
$ sfdx force:auth:web:login --setalias ${organization} --instanceurl ${organization_url}
try on your machine

This command is used in Salesforce DX (SFDX) to authenticate a user with a Salesforce organization using the web-based login flow. Here's the breakdown of the options:

  • sfdx force:auth:web:login: This is the overall command to start the login process using a web-based flow.

  • --setalias ${organization}: This option allows you to set an alias (a nickname or label) for the authenticated Salesforce organization. ${organization} should be replaced with the desired alias name.

  • --instanceurl ${organization_url}: This option is used to specify the Salesforce instance URL that the organization resides on. ${organization_url} should be replaced with the actual URL of the organization.

Overall, this command initiates the web-based login flow, sets an alias for the organization, and specifies the instance URL for authentication.
