Brave Browser Profile Import / Restore Restores the user's Brave Browser profile from the user's S3-backed Restic repository brave:profile:restore /cli/commands/brave-profile-restore https://github.com/megabyte-labs/install.doctor/blob/master/home/dot_config/task/Taskfile.yml#L68 home/dot_config/task/Taskfile.yml

This command imports / restores the Brave Browser profile from the S3 Restic repository, if it exists. In order to use this command for the first time, you should initialize Brave Browser by opening the application. You should also customize the application by applying your preferred settings (i.e. customize it how you want it to open in the future). Then, after making any changes you wish to be saved, you can backup the Brave Browser profile to the user's S3 bucket by running the brave:profile:backup task. After this is done, you can restore the application settings by running this command (i.e. brave:profile:restore).

The Brave Browser backup is encrypted with the same key that Chezmoi uses (stored in ~/.config/age/chezmoi.txt, by default). Since the backup leverages Restic, you can leverage all the functionality that Restic offers if something goes awry.
