+ You can save your frequently-used connection settings as profiles.
16
+ Profiles store the project IDs, organization
17
+ IDs, and, optionally, |api| keys to use in future {+atlas-cli+}
18
+ sessions. To save time, you can specify a profile instead of using the
19
+ ``--projectId`` and ``--orgId`` flags with each command. The {+atlas-cli+}
20
+ stores your profiles in a :ref:`configuration file <config-toml-location>`
21
+ called ``config.toml``.
22
+
23
+ .. note::
24
+
25
+ Any settings stored in :ref:`environment variables <atlas-cli-env-vars>`
26
+ take precedence over settings stored in profiles. Any project or organization
27
+ specified with the ``--projectId`` and ``--orgId`` flags take precedence over
28
+ both the profile and the environment variables.

33
+ -----------------------------
34

35
+ The {+atlas-cli+} saves the configuration file to the following
36
+ location depending on your operating system:
37
+
38
+ .. tabs-platforms::
39
+
40
+ .. tab::
41

61
+ If ``$XDG_CONFIG_HOME`` is not set, the {+atlas-cli+} uses:
62

63
+ .. code-block::
64
+
65
+ $HOME/.config/atlascli
66
+
67
+ The
68

69
+ the file.

71

73
+ Create a Profile
74
+ ----------------
75
+
76
+ The first time you run the
77
+ ``atlas auth login`` or ``atlas config init`` command, the
78
+ {+atlas-cli+} automatically creates the ``config.toml`` file and a default
79
+ profile. If you run a command without specifying a profile, environment
80
+ variables, or ``--projectId`` and ``--orgId`` flags, the {+atlas-cli+} uses the
81
+ default profile for the command.

191
+
192
+ You can update the
193
+ settings stored in your configuration file in the following ways:
194
+
195
+ - Edit the ``config.toml`` file with a text editor.
196
+ - Run the ``atlas config set`` command for a setting. This edits an individual
197
+ value in the ``config.toml`` file.
198
+
199
+ Run a Command with a Profile
200
+ ----------------------------
201
+
202
+ To run an {+atlas-cli+} command using a profile:
203
+
204
+ - :ref:`<atlas-cli-set-profile>`.
205
+ - Append the ``--profile <profileName>`` flag to a command or omit the
206
+ ``--profile <profileName>`` flag to use the default profile.
207
+
208
+ .. example::
209
+
210
+ This command uses a profile named ``myProfile``:
211
+
212
+ .. code-block::
213
+
214
+ atlas <command> --profile myProfile
215
+
216
+ This command uses the default profile:
217
+
218
+ .. code-block::
219
+
220
+ atlas <command>
