Contexts let you store named configurations — including organization ID and user credentials — so you don’t need to pass --org and --user on every command. Contexts are persisted in the user configuration folder. For example, on macOS they are stored in ~/.config/nscale/contexts.yaml. Aliases: context, ctx
