Special directories

All directories in the source state whose name begins with . are ignored by default, unless they are one of the special directories listed here. All of these directories are optional and are evaluated in a specific order described in special files.

• The files in .chezmoidata/ directories are read in lexical order with any .chezmoidata.$FORMAT files in the source state.

• The files in .chezmoitemplates/ are made available for use in source templates.

• The files in .chezmoiscripts/ are read, templated, and according to their phase attributes (run_after_, run_before_, etc.) and lexical ordering.

• Files in .chezmoiexternals/ are read in lexical order with any .chezmoiexternal.$FORMAT files.
