how to connect a contract to a contract runner with hardhat ethers v6?

[kuco23]

Hi, I want to connect a contract to an impersonated account on a forked network, using ethers v6. I followed a tutorial on how to do this, and I derived this, but now (I'm guessing with v6 version) the getSigner method does not exist on ethers. I saw it exists on ethers provider object, but now I'm not sure how to sync it with hardhat's internal provider:

import { ethers, network } from 'hardhat'
const provider = network.provider // hardhat network provider

I would appreciate any help with connecting a contract to the impersonated signer.

Sorry, have to learn to tag commits, fixed it.

getSigner exists in the hre.ethers object or, in your snippet example, the ethers object imported from Hardhat.
