FAQPage Schema
How do I safely review and apply chezmoi dotfiles changes across machines?

To safely apply chezmoi dotfiles, you orchestrate a diff workflow to review pending changes and execute the apply operation only after explicit confirmation. This enforces review before deployment and reduces manual mistakes.

What is the boundary between APM-managed skills and chezmoi dotfiles?

The APM versus chezmoi boundary separates APM-managed skills from dotfiles content to prevent overwrites and collisions. Auditing this boundary ensures clear separation when adding new skills or updating configurations.

How do I initialize a new machine with chezmoi dotfiles and pre-push hooks?

Initializing a new machine with chezmoi uses a repeatable workflow that applies dotfiles content and validates pre-push hooks. This ensures consistent state and validates configurations before deployment.

Can I automate adding new skills to my chezmoi dotfiles workflow?

You can add new skills to your chezmoi dotfiles workflow through a coordinated process that enforces the APM vs chezmoi boundary. This prevents overwrites and collisions when integrating new skill management components.

Why does my chezmoi apply workflow require explicit user intent?

Chezmoi apply workflows require explicit user intent to enforce review before deployment and maintain safe diff and apply lifecycles. This prevents accidental overwrites and ensures consistent state across machines.
