Grew up in a very poor town in Arkansas. Had a public tennis court literally next door. In the 80s, the tennis court saw frequent use. People would get mad when they lost a match or whatever and hit the balls into our yard. My grandmother

I 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.
