This repository contains my personal dotfiles, and it is managed by chezmoi.

Initialise chezmoi's source directory with my dotfiles stored in GitHub (this does not apply any changes):

chezmoi init jmgq

Add a new file:

chezmoi add .some-dot-file

Edit an existing file:

chezmoi edit .some-dot-file

See a quick summary of the files that would change if we applied the changes:

chezmoi status

Display the difference between the desired state and the actual state of the dotfiles:

chezmoi diff

Apply changes:

chezmoi apply --interactive

Jump to the chezmoi directory (in a new subshell):

chezmoi cd

Pull the latest version from the source repo and apply any changes:

chezmoi update --interactive

You can pass the --dry-run flag to any command to simulate its output without actually running it.

Similarly, the --verbose option is globally available.

In order update the GitHub repository with any local changes, you need to go to the chezmoi directory and use Git's add, commit and push commands.
