Improve `alias` UX

See original GitHub issue

I know there’s been some discussion in zeit.chat about this, but I thought it’d be good to open a issue for further discussion.

I’m not sure of the best solution to improve the aliases experience, but here’s some ideas for consideration:

Ability to alias multiple domains at once

I’d like to do this:

now alias <ID> domain.com www.domain.com

instead of this:

now alias <ID> domain.com 
now alias <ID> www.domain.com

Ability to define domain aliases in package.json or some other file

I’d like to do this:

now alias

and have the latest deployment automatically aliased to one or more configured domains

Alternatively, it could be:

now alias <ID>

which would be easy to do since the deployment url is automatically copied to the clipboard.

I know now-realias does something like this, but I think this should be apart of the official client 😃

+1 for linking to last deployment

Would be nice to be able to define “domain aliases” and do “now alias latest dev,staging,prod”

Closing this because now alias and now alias <id> have worked for a long time. But more importantly, I think that Automatic Aliasing supersedes this feature request since now alias (with no arguments) is more or less deprecated.
