    You will need dconf to export and import you profile settings. Please see this answer for details (short summary: use dconf dump /org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/ | grep -e "\[\:\|visible-name" to list the installed profiles, then import/export them via dconf dump /org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/:xx-xx-xx-xx/ > sample.dconf and dconf load /org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/:xx-xx-xx-xx/ < sample.dconf).

  2. I've wrapped the commands for importing/exporting the default profile into a ready-for-use script, you can get it here: https://github.com/yktoo/yktools/blob/master/gnome-terminal-profile

    The usage is straightforward:

    gnome-terminal-profile export /path/to/file
gnome-terminal-profile import /path/to/file
