I used to use chezmoi and had a great experience with it .It made it easy to choose exactly what I wanted to share. These days, I don’t have many devices, so I stopped using it. Still, it feels great when someone asks, “How did you set that up?” and I can instantly share my entire configuration through a GitHub repo.

I’d often change a file, forget that it was backed by the chezmoi store, later find myself trying to reconcile the differences, just so I could commit and share w/ another computer. nix + home-manager and snowfall lib, once over the multi month ramp up, have been such a breath of fresh air in multi system management

- marcusb 1y agoI ended up writing some pretty hacky elisp to automatically load my chezmoi templates if I try to edit a Chezmoi-managed file. It'll also handle applying and pushing saved changes to my git remote so I don't forget that either. https://marcusb.org/posts/2025/01/frictionless-dotfile-management-with-chezmoi/#emacs https://marcusb.org/posts/2025/01/frictionless-dotfile-manag...
