How to sync field groups from local Json in plugin

I updated my workflow so that I am developing blocks within a plugin rather than within the theme. I’m developing the plugin locally and deploying the plugin to production. Everything is going great.

But I have just one problem.

When I modify field groups locally, those changes are reflected in the plugin’s acf-json folder. But I don’t see a Sync option when I deploy my plugin to the server with those updated field groups.

Here’s the code I’m using in my plugin to change the acf-json path.

add_filter('acf/settings/save_json', 'my_acf_json_save_point'); 
function my_acf_json_save_point( $path ) {
    // update path
    $path = plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ) . '/acf-json';
    
    // return
    return $path;
}

ACF Version 5.8.7

You need to add a load point to also load the json from the location that you’re saving to.
