It lets you open a known short link directly from your terminal instead of switching to a browser first, typing the short domain, and waiting for the redirect. For day-to-day work, that makes repeat links faster to reach.</p> <p>The helper is deliberately read-only. It reads a generated registry such as <code>build/v8s.json</code> or <code>~/.v8s.json</code>, opens exact slugs that already exist, and refuses targets that are not web URLs. It does not create, edit, commit, or push links. It only opens <code>permanent</code> and <code>ephemeral</code> links with <code>http://</code> or <code>https://</code> targets after validating the slug input.</p>https://vanityurls.link/en/docs/command-line-interface/lnk/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://vanityurls.link/en/docs/command-line-interface/lnk/<p><code>lnk</code> is the repository command-line interface for changing a vanityURLs instance. It edits source files in <code>custom/</code>, runs <code>npm run check</code>, then stages, commits, and pushes successful write operations.</p> <p>Use it when you want the change to become part of your Git history and deploy through the normal Worker workflow.
