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.

  1. 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 SFTARGETORG is set — environment variables override config values.
  • Salesforce CLI config (unified) reference: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.sfdxclireference.meta/sfdxclireference/clireferenceconfigcommandsunified.htm#clireferenceconfigsetunified
