Example for first time and second time open tunnel with nickname.

• user request: "open tunnel to demand-manager-api.platform-dev"
• meaning:
  • <target_host> is demand-manager-api.platform-dev, because nickname is pointing to this host.
  • <target_port> is not provided, default is 80
  • <local_port> is not provided, usinng this plugin default to select a port between 8000 to 8999, make sure the port is not in use.

Example for user who dosn't have dx installed in global

• user request: "open tunnel to demand-manager-api.platform-dev"
• meaning:
  • <target_host> is demand-manager-api.platform-dev

  • <local_port> is not provided, usinng this plugin default to select a port between 8000 to 8999, make sure the port is not in use.
• before executing,because user doesn't have dx installed in global, so this will fall back to use npx @siteminder/dx to execute the command instead of dx.
