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
