I learned how to use chezmoi largely by looking at https://github.com/speshak/dotfiles so full credit where credit is due. He also explained how his template for environment based variables works.

In the event of needing a new environment

1. Install chezmoi
2. Init and apply chezmoi
3. Set up your new GPG key
   1. Add key to github profile
   2. Edit .gitconfig and .gnupg/gpg.cong with new key value

   4. Edit the .chezmoi.toml.tmpl file with the new email and gpg key ID
