# Profiles

## Introduction

### What are profiles?

Profiles let you save and switch between multiple Stakpak configurations. Each profile has its own provider, API keys, and model settings, so you can easily move between work, personal, and testing environments without changing your global setup.

## How to create a new profile?

1. Open your terminal 
2. Write `stakpak config` 

Here you will be able to see all your profiles

6. Press "Y" to continue to stakpak

### How to switch profiles?
