Rather than have a local node on my PC, I'd like to be able to attach the geth cli console to INFURA and then issue requests within geth's java console, e.g. web3.eth.getBalance(<address>)
I signed up for INFURA and received an email with some endpoints to use, but I am unclear what specific commands I should use so that my geth console attaches to one of those endpoints.
Thanks
