# Profiles

The Hatchet CLI supports managing multiple Hatchet instances and tenants using named profiles. This feature makes it easy to switch between different environments, such as development, staging, and production.

## Creating a Profile

You can create a new profile using the `hatchet profile add` command. You will need to provide a Hatchet API token for the profile.

```sh
hatchet profile add
```

This command will prompt you to enter the API token followed by the profile name. You can also provide these as flags:

```sh
hatchet profile add --name [name] --token [token]
```

## Listing Profiles

You can list all the profiles you have configured using the `hatchet profile list` command:

```sh
hatchet profile list
```

This will display all configured profiles, with the default profile marked with `(default)` if one is set.

## Setting a Default Profile

You can set a profile as the default using the `hatchet profile set-default` command. The default profile will be automatically used when no profile is specified with the `--profile` flag.

```sh
# Set default profile interactively (prompts for selection)
hatchet profile set-default

# Set a specific profile as default
hatchet profile set-default --name [name]
```

Once a default profile is set, you can run commands without specifying the `--profile` flag:

```sh
# Uses the default profile
hatchet worker dev
```

To unset the default profile:

```sh
hatchet profile unset-default
```

## Using a Profile

To use a specific profile for your Hatchet CLI commands, you can specify the profile name using the `--profile` flag. This overrides the default profile if one is set.

```sh
hatchet worker dev --profile [name]
```

## Updating a Profile

You can update an existing profile using the `hatchet profile update` command. This allows you to change the API token associated with a profile.

```sh
hatchet profile update
```

## Deleting a Profile

You can delete a profile using the `hatchet profile remove` command:

```sh
hatchet profile remove
```

If you remove a profile that is set as the default, the default profile setting will be automatically cleared.
