+## Knife configuration profile management commands
+
+Several new commands have been added under `knife config` to help manage multiple
+profiles in your `credentials` file.
+
+`knife config get-profile` will display the active profile.
+
+`knife config use-profile PROFILE` will set the workstation-level default
+profile. That default can still be overridden by the `--profile` command line
+option or the `$CHEF_PROFILE` environment variable.
+
+`knife config list-profiles` will display all your available profiles along with
+summary information on each.
+
+```bash
+$ knife config get-profile
+staging
+$ knife config use-profile prod
+Set default profile to prod
+$ knife config list-profiles
+ Profile  Client  Key               Server
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ staging  myuser  ~/.chef/user.pem  https://example.com/organizations/staging
+*prod     myuser  ~/.chef/user.pem  https://example.com/organizations/prod
+```
