conan profile

$ conan profile [-h] {list,show,new,update,get,remove} ...

Lists profiles in the ‘.conan/profiles’ folder, or shows profile details.

The ‘list’ subcommand will always use the default user ‘conan/profiles’ folder. But the ‘show’ subcommand can resolve absolute and relative paths, as well as to map names to ‘.conan/profiles’ folder, in the same way as the ‘–profile’ install argument.

positional arguments:
  {list,show,new,update,get,remove}
                        sub-command help
    list                List current profiles
    show                Show the values defined for a profile
    new                 Creates a new empty profile
    update              Update a profile with desired value
    get                 Get a profile key
    remove              Remove a profile key

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
