  4. Review before syncing

From your terminal

Add, verify, import and sync your redirects.

Install the CLI

The CLI release is pending during early access. Once available, the install command is:

bash
npm install -g @forward-domains/cli

Add a redirect

bash
fwd add oldproduct.com --to https://newproduct.dev

The command prints the domain, destination and registrar records. Verify account ownership with the supplied TXT proof before routing traffic. An A record sends apex traffic to the edge; a CNAME routes www. Keep your existing email records.

Verify the setup

bash
fwd verify oldproduct.com

Verification checks DNS, the certificate and the redirect. HTTPS becomes available once issuance completes.

Review before syncing

bash
$ fwd sync --dry-run
  + spring-launch.com   → newproduct.dev/launch   302
  ~ greatname.dev       redirect → for-sale page
  1 to add, 1 to change, 0 to remove

Use fwd import to bring existing redirects into the file, and fwd pull to write it from your account. Every command supports --json.
