    You need to use a search and replace tool to alter all of those URLs. You’re right, there are a lot of them. Can be hundreds on even a modest site. Some are even dangerous to manually edit, you must use a tool for this.

    See https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Moving_WordPress#Changing_Your_Domain_Name_and_URLs

    The only way to avoid this step is to place the eventual domain name in your computer’s hosts file, which allows you to access localhost with an alias. The result is all WP links use that alias, which when moved becomes the proper domain name.
