Custom profiles

Create a new profile straight from the CLI, without hand-editing profiles.json.

# Syntax: wisely -NewProfile "key RAMgb NumCPU [description]"

wisely -NewProfile "cle RAMgo NbCPU [description]"

# Example

wisely -NewProfile "gaming 12GB 6 Mode gaming haute performance"

The key must be a single word (lowercase recommended) and an alphanumeric identifier (letters, digits, _, -)
RAM must follow the <number>GB format (e.g. 4GB, 8GB)
CPU count must be between 1 and the host machine's logical processor count
The description is optional

The profile becomes immediately available in the interactive menu and the direct command list.

Import / export

Share or back up your profiles outside the repo.

# Export to a file (default: wsl-profiles-export.json)

wisely -Export

# Import from a file

wisely -Import C:\\Backup\\mes-profils.json

Importing automatically creates a backup of the current .wslconfig before applying the new profiles.

Importing fully replaces the existing data/profiles.json file, including any custom profiles created locally. Export your current profiles first if you want to keep them before importing a new file.
