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
