Profiles

Profiles are new feature in 1.12.

Profiles are configuration files which are given a name and saved on a fixed location for easy loading. See conf_files for syntax and available settings.

The provided packaged versions of vcs include three sample profiles (black, white, and mosaic) matching the examples in the example_configs page.

Use -p :list to get a list of installed profiles:

$ vcs -p :list

E.g. to load the “Black” profile use:

$ vcs -p black

The can be saved to:

• ~/.vcs/profiles/
• /usr/local/share/vcs/profiles/
• /usr/share/vcs/profiles/

Their extension must be conf, e.g. the black profile mentioned above (included with vcs) can be found in

  /usr/share/vcs/profiles/black.conf
