QGIS Deployment Toolbelt (QDT)
QGIS Deployment Toolbelt (QDT) is a cross-platform (primarily Windows-focused) command-line tool that streamlines the deployment and management of QGIS profiles, plugins, and related settings within organizations.
It helps standardize user environments, simplify updates, and integrate with IT deployment strategies like GPO, SCCM, or InTune.
⭐ Why QDT?
- Save hours of manual QGIS configuration and profile management
- Reduce configuration errors and user friction
- Scale QGIS deployments in professional environments easily
- Reconciling GIS service expectations and IT constraints
- Community driven development and developed by experienced QGIS teams (especially Oslandia)

profile.jsonfile. You can also use the Profile Manager plugin to export your existing profiles right from QGIS. - Version control integration: Git-powered backend for tracking changes and enabling collaborative profile management.
- IT-friendly: designed to work with Active Directory, GPOs, SCCM, InTune, and other enterprise tools.
