Write chezmoi templates: OS/machine conditionals, user-defined data variables, Sprig functions, shared fragments, and interactive prompts.
Run scripts on apply, once, or on content change — manage run_, run_once_, run_onchange_, run_before_, and run_after_ scripts and their state.
Configure chezmoi behavior: source/target dirs, data injection, encryption, editor, diff/merge tools, git auto-commit, and operation hooks.
Integrate with password managers (Bitwarden, 1Password, etc.) and manage encrypted files using age or gpg.
Bootstrap chezmoi on a new machine, clone an existing dotfiles repo, migrate existing dotfiles, or run one-shot init scripts.
Work with the chezmoi source directory: file naming prefixes, adding/removing files, externals (.chezmoiexternal for external files, archives, and git repos), special directories (.chezmoiignore, .chezmoitemplates/), and git operations.
Look up and run chezmoi commands: add, apply, diff, status, update, verify, edit, merge, re-add, state, and other core operations on the target directory.
Manage dotfiles across multiple machines: hostname/OS/distro conditionals, WSL detection, per-machine data with .chezmoidata and config [data], conditional .chezmoiignore, and per-machine file selection patterns.
