Install chezmoi
[chezmoi][website] is a dotfile manager. Meaning that I can handle of those super important dotfiles you tend to build up over time and want to share among your hosts.
I recently got a new machine to I thought it was about time to get started with a dotfile manager to save some time. I had recently heard about chezmoi on the Change Log podcast, so I thought I would give it a spin.
First up you have to install it on your first machine, mine was an old macOS machine (hoarfrost).
Next up was installing it on a second, brand new, macOS matching (silverrocket), following the same procedure (some OS).
And finally installing it on an Ubuntu machine in the cloud I use for various things.
