Git and Configuration Profile Manager
After installation, initialize the configuration:
persona initTo initialize the configuration:
persona initThis command creates the configuration file ~/.persona.json if it doesn't exist yet. It also creates the directory ~/.persona/profiles where all profiles will be stored.
To add a new profile:
persona add --url=<repository-url>The profile name can be extracted from the URL if not provided. The repository will be cloned into ~/.persona/profiles/<profile-name>.
To list all available profiles:
persona listThis command shows all available profiles and their current status (active or inactive).
To switch to a different profile:
persona switch --profile=<profile-name>This command creates symbolic links to the configuration files of the selected profile. If files already exist in the target location, the command will prompt for confirmation before replacing them.
To remove a profile:
persona remove --profile=<profile-name>This command removes the profile and its symbolic links. It will prompt for confirmation before proceeding.
To update a profile from its repository:
persona update --profile=<profile-name>To update all profiles:
persona updateThis command fetches the latest changes from the repository and updates the local files.

The configuration file is located at ~/.persona.json and contains:
- List of all profiles
- Current active profile

- Configuration settings
Each profile is stored in ~/.persona/profiles/<profile-name> and should contain:
