Review: chezmoi 2.70.5-1

Package Information

DescriptionManaging dotfiles across multiple machines

chezmoi helps you manage your personal configuration files (dotfiles) across multiple machines.

It provides many features beyond symlinking or using a bare git repo including:

* templates (to handle small differences between machines) * password manager support (to store your secrets securely) * importing files from archives (great for shell and editor plugins) * full file encryption (using age, gpg, git-crypt, or transcrypt) * running scripts (to handle everything else)
