Maintain

Add new dotfile

1. chezmoi add .crazyconfig

Get changes on other machine

chezmoi update

Edit config file

Don't edit the file directly! chezmoi will not track those changes.

1. chezmoi edit .crazyconfig
2. chezmoi apply

Badboi still edited the config file directly instead of using chezmoi edit

• Discard external edits: chezmoi apply .crazyconfig
• Keep external edits and add them to the repo: chezmoi re-add .crazyconfig
