Dotfiles

There's no place like $HOME. My dotfiles, managed with Chezmoi

1. Run sh -c "$(curl -fsLS get.chezmoi.io/lb)" -- init --apply jerboa88 to install Chezmoi and clone the dotfiles repo. If you already have Chezmoi installed, use chezmoi init --apply jerboa88 instead.
2. Make a copy of your existing dotfiles in case you want to revert changes
3. See the differences between the repo and your home directory with chezmoi diff.
4. If you are okay with the changes, you can apply them to your home directory with chezmoi apply -v

See the Chezmoi docs for more detailed instructions.

Use chezmoi add YOUR_FILE_HERE to add a new file to the repo. Chezmoi will make a copy of the file in ~/.local/share/chezmoi which can then be edited or uploaded like you'd expect.

I would recommend navigating to the Chezmoi directory (~/.local/share/chezmoi) with chezmoi cd and editing your files there so Chezmoi can automatically keep track of your changes. Editing files directly in your home directory is possible but it involves extra steps.

When you edit a file in the Chezmoi directory, changes are not immediately applied to your home directory.

1. Use chezmoi diff to compare your home directory with the Chezmoi repo to see what changes will be applied
2. Use chezmoi apply -v to actually apply the changes to your home directory

Use chezmoi update -v to pull changes from the remote repo and apply them to your home directory

Navigate to the Chezmoi directory with chezmoi cd and use standard git commands to push your changes to the remote repo.

For example:

git add YOUR_FILE_HERE
git commit -m "Your commit message here"
git push
