Anon and Service key for Supabase local

I am running supabase locally but having a bit of trouble understanding how I can connect it to remove vs production. So, I have a .env.local. And a client.ts which creates a supabase instance like this: 
export const supabase = createClient<Database>(
    SUPABASE_URL,
    SUPABASE_ANON_KEY,
    {
        auth: {
            storage: customStorage,
            persistSession: true,
            autoRefreshToken: true
        }
    }
);
export const supabase = createClient<Database>(
    SUPABASE_URL,
    SUPABASE_ANON_KEY,
    {
        auth: {
            storage: customStorage,
            persistSession: true,
            autoRefreshToken: true
        }
    }
);
How do I check what the ANON_KEY , service_role and PUBLISHABLE_KEY are for my local development?

If you are using the CLI when you run supabase start it should show you the keys to use.

I see "secret key" and "publishable key". Is this the anon key(secret key)? From the actual dashboard of production environment, I can see that the anon key and the service_role key both have a different structure (JWT). However the ones printed in the CLI are like: sb_publishable_ and sb_secret_

supabase has moved away from using anon/service role key to publishable/secret key so you might want to use SUPABASE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY above (though for environemnt variables the naming shouldn't matter). This guide may be helpful https://supabase.com/docs/guides/api/api-keys

for implementation purposes they work more or less the same

(also if you'd prefer to use the old keys for some reason - npx supabase status -o env will show the old keys; the api-keys docs above is essential to read! 🙂 there's a transition from old keys to new keys, so still makes sense to switch already)
