Connecting to a Salesforce Organization.

• Using Command Prompt

sfdx force:auth:web:login --setalias DefaultOrg

--instanceurl https://test.salesforce.com --setdefaultusername

• Using Microsoft VS Code

VS Code provides a user-friendly user interface where you do not have to remember all SFDX commands. It provides a realistic approach to execute the SFDX command in the backend. for example, the above command can be executed using >SFDX: Set a Default Org.

Note: Until you have created a project in VS Code, you cannot see all SFDX command.
