Alias WP-CLI
summary
Demonstrates using WP-CLI Alias to run arbitrary WP-CLI commands on remote servers over SSH keys without interactive login, shows cloning a remote site to local in four commands and then as one piped command (no temp files), reports 74 replacements during a search-replace step, builds a reusable bash script named client import database that becomes executable and lives in ~/bin, and verifies the workflow works end-to-end—creates backups, imports DB, runs search‑replace and flushes permalinks.
