How can you link the Copado CLI with the organization where Copado is installed?

The correct answer involves running the command to authenticate the Copado CLI with the Salesforce organization where Copado is installed. By executing the command sfdx copado:auth:set -a [myOrgAlias], you establish a connection between the Copado CLI and the specified Salesforce org. This command effectively links the local development environment to the necessary org, allowing users to utilize Copado's features directly through the CLI.

This method is critical as it provides a streamlined way to manage deployments and other tasks in Copado without having to navigate through the GUI for actions that could be more efficiently performed via the command line.

Other options offered may not effectively provide the same linkage. The GUI settings and plugin installation serve different purposes and do not directly address the authentication or linking process needed in this scenario. Deploying the CLI configuration file does not inherently establish the connection required for Copado operations, making the command option the most precise way to achieve the desired linkage.
