any tutorial for switching between different instance?

for example, for a repo contains appwrite.json, i want to be able to push to either local docker instance or remote appwrite cloud, i am struggling for finding any steps for doing it in the official doc.

I asked GenAI to create a command for me like this:

appwrite client --endpoint http://localhost:8310/v1 --project-id my-project --key standard_my_key

appwrite login --email local@local.com --password local-user-pwd

It shows:

✓ Success: Setting client
ℹ Info: You are currently signed in as 
✓ Success: Successfully signed in as local@local.com
♥ Hint: Next you can create or link to your project using 'appwrite init project'

However, i see no changes in the appwrite.json, and it works only after i manually change the endpoint in appwrite .json to localhost, it starts working.

The 1st problem is appwrite init project does not really link, it only create new...

i wonder do i need to change the file manually every time i need to switch among environments? any suggested way of doing it plz?

thanks 🙂
