This question helped me with how to export a profile configuration file, but how do I import that file into iterm2 on my new machine?
(the file I exported was called com.googlecode.iterm2.plist, for what it's worth)

iTerm stores profiles in `~/Library/Saved Application State` which is not backed up by time machine. Today I had to recover my main disk form time mashine. For some reason, iTerm2 lost all my profiles. Some research revealed that profiles are stored in ~/Library/Saved Application State .
Go to iTerm2 -> Preferences -> General . Under the Preferences tab , Tick Load Preferences from a custom folder or a URL: and choose a folder and click on Save Now .
just upload your *.plist to ~/Library/Preferences.
Notice, that checkbox:
Load preferences from a custom folder or URL in Preferences - General (at the bottom) must be disabled.

Restart iTerm2 now in profiles it should show all your old profiles
