How to Set Up an Environment as a Default Dev Hub in Salesforce DX

In order to create a scratch org in Salesforce DX, we need to configure a Dev Hub environment to which our new scratch org will be linked. There are two ways to do this:

1. Setting the -v flag within the command for creating our scratch org as follows:

   sfdx force:org:create -s -f config/project-scratch-def.json -v DevHub

   In this example, the value DevHub is the alias or username of the Dev Hub environment from which we want to create our scratch orgs.
   The drawback of this method is that we need to specify this flag every time we want to create a new scratch environment.
2. Configuring a project-wide configuration variable by setting the defaultdevhubusername variable as follows:

   sfdx force:config:set defaultdevhubusername=MyDevHub

   Now we can run the command to create a scratch org without explicitly specifying our Dev Hub environment's name.

   sfdx force:org:create -s -f config/project-scratch-def.json
