Usage: ditto-cli project
Action: To change the Ditto project you want to pull copy from in the current directory. Running this will allow you to select a project from a list of projects in your workspace that have developer mode enabled.
The Ditto project that the directory is synced with is defined in ditto/config.yml, and you can also manually change the linked project there.
This folder is associated with your current working directory, so if you switch directories, we'll create a new folder there.
config.yml
This stores the information on which Ditto project you've selected to pull copy from in this directory.
You can change which project is defined here using the project command, or by manually replacing the contents of this file. If you switch directories, you'll automatically be prompted to choose a project to pull from.
text.json
The copy pulled from your Ditto project is saved to this file. Learn more about how this content is structured and how the IDs are generated by reading our guide here.
Your API key is saved to this file in your root directory. To change your API key, you'll need to open this file and replace the key manually.
