Local Wallet Example:

require("dotenv").config();
import { Wallet, LocalProvider } from "@hashgraph/sdk";

async function main() {

    const wallet = new Wallet(
        process.env.OPERATOR_ID,
        process.env.OPERATOR_KEY,
        new LocalProvider()
    );

    const info = await wallet.getAccountInfo();

    console.log(`info.key                          = ${info.key.toString()}`);

void main();

Sign with Local Wallet Example:

require("dotenv").config();
const {Wallet, LocalProvider, TransferTransaction} = require("@hashgraph/sdk");

async function main() {

    const wallet = new Wallet(
        process.env.OPERATOR_ID,
        process.env.OPERATOR_KEY,
        new LocalProvider()
    );

    //Transfer 1 hbar from my wallet account to account 0.0.3
    const transaction = await new TransferTransaction()
        .addHbarTransfer(wallet.getAccountId(), -1)
        .addHbarTransfer("0.0.3", 1)
        .freezeWithSigner(wallet);
    
    //Sign the transaction
    const signTransaction = await transaction.signWithSigner(wallet);

    //Submit the transaction
    const response = await signTransaction.executeWithSigner(wallet);

    //Get the receipt
    const receipt = await wallet.getProvider().waitForReceipt(response);
    
    console.log(`status: ${receipt.status.toString()}`);
}
