Google Chrome Profile Import / Restore Restores the user's Google Chrome profile from the user's S3-backed Restic repository chrome:profile:restore /cli/commands/chrome-profile-restore https://github.com/megabyte-labs/install.doctor/blob/master/home/dot_config/task/Taskfile.yml#L118 home/dot_config/task/Taskfile.yml

This command imports / restores the Google Chrome profile from the S3 Restic repository, if it exists. In order to use this command for the first time, you should initialize Google Chrome 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 Google Chrome profile to the user's S3 bucket by running the chrome:profile:backup task. After this is done, you can restore the application settings by running this command (i.e. chrome:profile:restore).

The Google Chrome 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.
