Summary

  • Rename all managed dotfiles with dot_ prefix so chezmoi places them correctly in ~/
  • Add .chezmoiignore to exclude repo-only dirs (bin/, todo-txt-sh/, etc.)
  • Add .chezmoi.toml.tmpl with user data for bootstrapping new machines
  • Remove bootstrap/link_dotfiles.sh (replaced by chezmoi apply)
  • Fix hardcoded paths: gitexcludes path in gitconfig, aliases source in zshrc

Bootstrap on a new machine

git clone https://github.com/jaymcgavren/dotfiles ~/dotfiles
chezmoi init --source ~/dotfiles
chezmoi apply
