Dotty profile get

dotty profile get¶

Show a profile's metadata and where it lives.

Synopsis¶

Print a profile's metadata — name, description, creation date — alongside the machine state around it: the profile directory, the dotfiles repository directory it links to, whether it is the active profile, and how many entries its Brewfile carries. Without a name dotty describes the active profile, or the one the global --profile names.

--format=json prints profile.json verbatim instead, which for a profile dotty init built also carries the wizard answers. That file knows nothing about this machine, so the link target and active flag are text-mode only.

dotty profile get [<name>] [flags]

Examples¶

  dotty profile get
  dotty profile get work
  dotty profile get work --format=json

Options¶

      --format string   output format: text (metadata plus machine state) or json (profile.json verbatim) (default "text")
  -h, --help            help for get

Options inherited from parent commands¶

      --profile string   profile to operate on (defaults to the active profile)
