Feature Request: Profile or Environments to e.g. only install some tools in CI

[z0rrn]

I would like to be able to only install some tools in CI/CD. This is equivalent to devDependencies and dependencies in the package.json file but in my proposal it's mich more flexible.

Consider we have the following .prototools file:

tool-a = "4.5.7"
[profile.dev]
tool-b = "1.2.3"
[profile.release]
tool-c = "1.4.6"
[profile.prod]
tool-d = "8.4.5"

Now just running proto use would install every tool specified (this could also only install tool-a). If proto use --profile prod is run only tool-d is installed (this could alson install tool-a and tool-d).

This could be entirely optional in .prototools. The profiles must be prefixed with profile., otherwise there could be confusion between a profile plugins and the plugin URLs.

Thanks, Frederik

I like this. Seems like an easy enough feature to support.

I started on this but it seems like it could be solved with env-mode configs? https://moonrepo.dev/docs/proto/config#environment-mode

Yep, totally missed that one. Sorry to waste your time and thanks for the fast answer.
