hcp profile

Command: hcp profile

The hcp profile command group lets you initialize, set, view and unset properties used by HCP CLI.

A profile is a collection of properties/configuration values that inform the behavior of hcp CLI. To initialize a profile, run hcp profile init. You can create additional profiles using hcp profile profiles create.

To switch between profiles, use hcp profile profiles activate.

hcp has several global flags that have matching profile properties. Examples are the project_id and core/output_format properties and their respective flags --project and --format. The difference between properties and flags is that flags apply only on the invoked command, while properties are persistent across all invocations. Thus profiles allow you to conviently maintain the same settings across command executions and multiple profiles allow you to easily switch between different projects and settings.

To run a command using a profile other than the active profile, pass the --profile flag to the command.
