Developing OpenWhisk applications, I'm often switching between a local instance of the platform for development & testing and IBM Cloud Functions for production.

The OpenWhisk CLI uses a configuration file (~/.wskprops) to store authorisation parameters for the current platform endpoint.

How can I use the CLI tool with different environments without having to manually update the configuration properties each time?

The OpenWhisk CLI supports overriding the configuration file location using an environment variable (WSK_CONFIG_FILE).

Store platform credentials in separate configuration files and use this environment parameter to choose the platform instance to target.
