How do I use an existing wallet address with my Sui CLI client?

[dosubot]

You can use an existing wallet address with the Sui CLI client by importing its mnemonic phrase or private key into your local keystore. Use the command:

sui keytool import <INPUT> <KEY_SCHEME>

where <INPUT> is your mnemonic phrase or Bech32-encoded private key, and <KEY_SCHEME> is one of ed25519, secp256k1, or secp256r1. This adds the key to your local sui.keystore file. After importing, you can list all addresses with sui client addresses and set the active address using:

sui client switch --address <ADDRESS>

More details are in the Sui CLI keytool documentation and the CLI cheatsheet.

To reply, just mention @dosu.
