Add ability to list profiles #110

Closed rpappalax closed 2 years ago

pdehaan commented 7 years ago

How should this work? Just list the locally installed profiles? Or should we try and detect globally installed profiles?

rpappalax commented 7 years ago

I was thinking locally in /.cache/profiles/ and just list them out. Otherwise, it's hard to know what to choose. It would be useful to also allow the user to list them, then up-arrow to the one they want.

Sounds simple enough. You thinking just some basic ls -l to get directory names for the _temp/profiles directory? Or something more complex?

My only concern would be users getting oodles of auto-generated profile names returned. A la:

➜  profiles git:(dev) $ ls -l
