How to manage image URLs through development to staging to production

[strarsis]

There is a nice tool for this which also replaces the URLs automatically - the way how it does is also recommended by WordPress Codex.

Leveraging WP-CLI Aliases in Your WordPress Development Workflow

I am working on a repo here. Raquelle as author (@cedarstay ) as well as @ben have been mentioned for the script they made and I added there. Thanks so much for sharing this and teaching me more about aliases and shell scripts! README is not quite done yet and tweaks me be needed. Feel free to submit pull requests or clone it.
