• brew bundle install --no-upgrade

• chezmoi apply ~/Brewfile && brew bundle install --file ~/Brewfile --no-upgrade

• brew bundle cleanup --file ~/Brewfile

• chezmoi apply ~/Brewfile && brew bundle cleanup --file ~/Brewfile

• brew cu

• brew cu -a -i for interactive mode on auto updatable programs

Encryption

Encryption with age

1. Follow this to create a key pair: https://www.chezmoi.io/user-guide/frequently-asked-questions/encryption/
2. Encrypt a yaml file in some place (in my example it is in data).
3. Use Go templating syntax to read and decrypt the file, for example:

   {{- $work := include "data/work.yaml.age" | decrypt | fromYaml -}}
   export PIP_EXTRA_INDEX_URL={{ $work.pip_extra_index_url }}

Encryption with 1Password

Using chezmoi across multiple machines

• chezmoi init $GITHUB_USERNAME clones your dotfiles from GitHub into the source directory.
• chezmoi init --apply $GITHUB_USERNAME clones your dotfiles from GitHub into the source directory and runs chezmoi apply.
• chezmoi update pulls the latest changes from your remote repo and runs chezmoi apply.

Working with templates

• chezmoi data prints the available template data.
• chezmoi add --template $FILE adds $FILE as a template.
• chezmoi chattr +template $FILE makes an existing file a template.
• chezmoi cat $FILE prints the target contents of $FILE, without changing $FILE.
• chezmoi execute-template is useful for testing and debugging templates.

Working with scripts

• chezmoi state delete-bucket --bucket=scriptState to clear the state of run once scripts.
