Pro Tips

Use 'snow connection add' to create named connection profiles for different environments (dev, staging, prod).

Store credentials securely using external browser authentication or key-pair authentication.

Use 'snow connection test' to verify connectivity before running commands.

Connection profiles are stored locally. Keep backup of config when setting up new machines.
