        "content": "Yes \u2014 DigitalOcean provides **doctl**, its official CLI tool, which fully supports managing DNS (domains and DNS records). ([docs.digitalocean.com](https://docs.digitalocean.com/reference/doctl/?utm_source=openai))\n\nHere are the main things you can do with `doctl` for DNS, along with some examples:\n\n---\n\n## \u2705 What You Can Do with `doctl` for DNS\n\n- Create, list, update, and delete **domains** (Zones). ([docs.digitalocean.com](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/networking/dns/reference/?utm_source=openai))  \n- Create, list, update, and delete **DNS records** (A, CNAME, MX, etc.) for those domains. ([docs.digitalocean.com](https://docs.digitalocean.com/reference/doctl/reference/compute/domain/records/list/?utm_source=openai))  \n- Format the output (for example, show only certain fields, or output as JSON) for easier scripting. ([docs.digitalocean.com](https://docs.digitalocean.com/reference/doctl/reference/compute/domain/records/list/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## \ud83d\udd27 Example Commands\n\nHere are some examples of how you might use `doctl` for DNS tasks:\n\n- List all records for a domain  \n  `doctl compute domain records list example.com` ([docs.digitalocean.com](https://docs.digitalocean.com/reference/doctl/reference/compute/domain/records/list/?utm_source=openai))\n\n- Create an A record  \n  ```bash\n  doctl compute domain records create example.com \\\n    --record-type A \\\n    --record-name www \\\n    --record-data 203.0.113.45 \\\n    --record-ttl 3600\n  ```  \n  (The exact flags might vary; use `--help` to see current syntax.) ([docs.digitalocean.com](https://docs.digitalocean.com/reference/doctl/reference/?utm_source=openai))\n\n- Update a record  \n  ```bash\n  doctl compute domain records update <record-id> example.com \\\n    --record-data 203.0.113.50\n  ```  \n  Where `<record-id>` is the identifier of the record. ([docs.digitalocean.com](https://docs.digitalocean.com/reference/doctl/reference/?utm_source=openai))\n\n- Delete a record  \n  ```bash\n  doctl compute domain records delete <record-id> example.com\n  ```  \n  ([docs.digitalocean.com](https://docs.digitalocean.com/reference/doctl/reference/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can show you how to set `doctl` up (auth tokens, config, etc.) or share a cheat sheet specific to DNS commands. Do you want that?"
