Title Switch is a free and open-source Nintendo Switch backup manager for macOS, GNU/Linux, and Windows. With Title Switch you can copy your XCI/NCA backups to your Nintendo Switch's microSD card in just a few clicks, and see what titles you have replaced.

Select your SD card (or let the program do it for you), the game you want to install, the donor title (unless you use Plague), then click on "Install backup."
