CHEZMOI

Now, just remember to always edit your dotfiles templates. Chezmoi give you some helpers:
    chezmoi cd # will cd you to the dotfiles repo directory to edit files, or use;
    chezmoi edit ~/.zshrc # will open the template in your editor

Whenever you change the template or the data file, just update everything:
    chezmoi update

push the changes to your repo:
    chezmoi cd
    git add .
    git commit -m "Update dotfiles"
    git push


If you create new dotfiles, let's say you started to use Fish, then don't forget to add it to Chezmoi like this:
    chezmoi add --autotemplate ~/.fishrc


You can use the convenience script to install the dotfiles on any machine with a single command. Simply run the following command in your terminal:
    export GITHUB_USERNAME=mmcfetridge1969
    sh -c "$(curl -fsLS get.chezmoi.io)" -- init --apply $GITHUB_USERNAME


Apply will install all the dependencies and add files to your $HOME.
    chezmoi apply

Update - From time to time, start the update simply with:
    chezmoi diff
    chezmoi update
