Dotty profile activate

dotty profile activate

Activate an existing profile.

Synopsis

Point the active-profile symlink at a profile. Without --name dotty presents a fuzzy-finding picklist of existing profiles. If the named profile does not exist, dotty offers to create it first, which runs the init interview for it the way dotty profile new does — and ends with the new profile active. A freshly activated profile with no Brewfile gets one dumped from the currently installed brews.
