Fourthing Chezmoi. I tried so many dotfiles tools and it's the only one that does just enough, gets out of my way, and "just works".

Being able to run `chezmoi diff` and `chezmoi apply` are game changers.



Another happy chezmoi user here... I progressed from symlinks -> Homeshick -> yadm -> chezmoi

One of chezmoi killer features is how it handles secrets. Either the secret can be encrypted using age/gpg or (super cool) it integrates with you password manager (I used Bitwarden).

This is super useful for me, as I pair chezmoi with dotenv, so when I switch directories, my environment variables are auto populated, including secrets that are pulled directly from my password manager.
