What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the development and modification of dotfiles using chezmoi, enabling sophisticated configuration management without overwriting user preferences.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Non-Destructive Configuration: Safely merge application settings into existing files using modify_ scripts.
  • Data-Driven Templates: Utilize .chezmoidata/ for reusable configuration data (YAML, JSON, TOML).
  • Symlink Management: Handle configuration in symlinked directories with run_onchange_after_ scripts.
  • Use Case: When configuring a new application, you want to ensure specific settings are present (e.g., API keys, feature flags) while allowing users to keep their custom configurations intact.

Quick Start

Use the chezmoi-development skill to create a modify_ script for merging settings into ~/.config/app/settings.json.
