Maintain

Add new dotfile

1. chezmoi add .crazyconfig
2. chezmoi apply

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

Homebrew Cask Removal

Removed packages and casks in the dotfiles repo do not get uninstalled on chezmoi apply.

To preview potential uninstall:

chezmoi execute-template '
{{- range .packages.darwin.brews }}brew "{{ . }}"
{{ end -}}
{{- range .packages.darwin.casks }}cask "{{ . }}"
{{ end -}}
' | brew bundle cleanup --file=-

To execute them, add the --force flag.

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
