example.com to the main domain you want to create subdomains fromOne of the main use cases of this program is watching the public IP of the device it runs on and updating DNS records if the public IP changes.
To register a domain run:
sh
godaddy register mysubdomain
and replcae mysubdomain with your subdomain.
This will create/update the record for this subdomain to point to the IP adress of the device command ran at and add the record to watch list.
To check for changes run
sh
godaddy check
This will check if the domain has changed since the command was last run. If it is the first time the command is run then domains will be refreshed to point to current IP.
The program keeps track of last IP in a file located at ~/.lastip
