ipython: Create default IPython profile.
$ ipython profile create
try on your machine

The command "ipython profile create" is used to create a new IPython profile in your system.

IPython is an interactive command-line interface for Python that provides enhanced features and functionality compared to the standard Python shell. In IPython, you can create different profiles to customize and manage your IPython environment according to your needs.

By running the "ipython profile create" command, a new profile directory is created in the IPython configuration directory. This directory contains various configuration files and settings specific to the newly created profile. These files can be modified to customize the behavior of IPython when using that profile.

Creating multiple profiles allows you to have different IPython configurations for various purposes. For example, you might have a profile specifically for data analysis, another one for development, and so on. Each profile can have its own set of startup files, aliases, environment variables, and other settings, enabling you to have a tailored IPython environment for different tasks or contexts.

Once the new profile is created, you can activate it using the command "ipython --profile=". This enables you to switch between different profiles and use the associated configurations accordingly.
