Usage

The name of the CLI tool is syd and its usage is relatively simple. An alias can have one and only one value at any given time. Aliases can be shared with other users via setting their access control list (ACL). The common use case is to make them visible to any authenticated user by granting the special user world read-only access. This is how the SD2 administration team creates aliases for use by the project at large.
