dx org switch

Steps

1. Identify the org: the user provides a username or alias (orgIdentifier). If not provided, run sf org list to show authenticated orgs and ask the user which one to use.
2. Set the default org:
   • Local (default): sf config set target-org <orgIdentifier>
     • Applies only within the current project directory. Use this for normal project work.
   • Global (only if user explicitly requests): sf config set target-org <orgIdentifier> --global
     • Applies system-wide across all directories. Use when working outside a project or when the user asks for global scope.
   • If this fails, report the error and suggest running sf org login web if the org may not be authorized.
3. Verify:
   • sf config get target-org --json
   • Note: the JSON output does not include a scope/location field — it cannot confirm whether the value is local or global. Confirm the value only, e.g.: target-org is now set to: <value>
   • If it fails, report the error and advise running sf config get target-org.

Notes

• Unified CLI uses keys like target-org and target-dev-hub. Legacy sfdx keys (defaultusername, defaultdevhubusername) are deprecated in this context.
• The sf CLI does not have --local or --scope flags for config set. Local scope is the default behavior.
• If the org does not change after setting the config, check whether SF_TARGET_ORG is set — environment variables override config values.
