Manage dotfiles safely by routing changes through a source repository instead of editing the home directory directly. This ensures configuration files are tracked, versioned, and safely reapplied across machines.
Editing home directory configs directly bypasses version tracking. Routing changes through chezmoi commands like edit and apply ensures modifications are traceable and can be reapplied to reproduce a known good state.
To edit and apply a config file, use the command `chezmoi edit ~/.zshrc` to modify the source state, then run `chezmoi apply` to write the changes safely to your home directory.
Yes, you must install the chezmoi CLI tool before managing dotfiles. It requires the chezmoi executable to run standard commands like list, edit, add, apply, diff, status, and cd.
To onboard a new machine, initialize chezmoi, add your important config files to the source repo, and run apply. This reproduces a known good state by safely reapplying your tracked configurations.
Yes, you can see pending changes before applying updates. Use the chezmoi diff command to view differences between the source state and your home directory, then use status to check tracked file states.
