apply [target...]

Ensure that target... are in the target state, updating them if necessary. If no targets are specified, the state of all targets are ensured. If a target has been modified since chezmoi last wrote it then the user will be prompted if they want to overwrite the file.

Common flags

-x, --exclude types

Exclude target state entries of specific types. The default is none.

Types can be explicitly included with the --include flag.

Example

--exclude=scripts will cause the command to not run scripts and --exclude=encrypted will exclude encrypted files.

-i, --include types

Include target state entries of specific types. The default is all.

Types can be explicitly excluded with the --exclude flag.

Example

--include=files specifies all files.

--init

Regenerate and reload the config file from its template before computing the target state.

-P, --parent-dirs

Execute the command on target and all its parent directories.

-r, --recursive

Recurse into subdirectories. Enabled by default. Can be disabled with --recursive=false.

--source-path

Specify targets by source path, rather than target path. This is useful for applying changes after editing.

Examples

chezmoi apply
chezmoi apply --dry-run --verbose
chezmoi apply ~/.bashrc
