The thing is that there isn't a lot to learn unless you have complex use cases (I have one, so I need to use chezmoi's advanced features). It just uses git under the hood and does a diff between your repository and the actual locations of your dotfiles, so if you wanted to (and I often do) you can just `cd` straight into chezmoi's repo and use `git`.

My complex use case is that I use all three of the main OS' and so there are some dotfiles for desktop apps that live in Windows' home directory and some that live in WSL, so having something manage that for me is pretty nice.
