In the [accessing-secrets](https://docs.doppler.com/docs/accessing-secrets) docs, it shows an example on accessing a secret: `doppler secrets get TLS_CERT --plain` When I try that, I get `Doppler Error: You must specify a project`. I am able to access the secret if specify the project and config `doppler secrets -p myproject -c dev TLS_SECRET --plain` How can I access the secret without specifying the project and config each time like in the example doc? Also, how do I switch between configs using the dopper CLI so when I run `dopper run -- command` it’ll use a specific config? ---

Hi @dopmax! Welcome to the Doppler Community! You can set a specific project and config that will be used for a specific folder location locally by running `doppler setup` inside the directory for your project. After doing that, any `doppler` commands you run in that directory will use the project and config you specified. If you want to switch to a different config from the one you set as the default temporarily, you would use the `-c` flag. That will temporarily override the default you set using `doppler setup`.
