The command "ranger --profile" is used to launch the file manager application called "ranger" in profile mode.

Ranger is a command-line based file manager that offers a minimalistic and efficient way to navigate and manage files and directories. It provides a text-based user interface with various features such as keyboard shortcuts, file previews, and the ability to perform operations like copying, moving, renaming, and deleting files.

The "--profile" option in the command specifies the mode in which ranger should run. When launched in profile mode, ranger loads a specific set of configuration options defined in a profile file. These options can customize the behavior and appearance of the file manager according to the user's preferences.

By using the "ranger --profile" command, you can open ranger with a predefined profile, allowing you to have a consistent and tailored experience every time you use the file manager. Depending on your setup, you may have multiple profiles available to choose from, each with its own predefined settings.
