.chezmoitemplates/

If any directory called .chezmoitemplates/ exists in the source state, then all files in this directory are available as templates with a name equal to the relative path to the .chezmoitemplates/ directory.

The template action or includeTemplate function can be used to include these templates in another template. The context value (.) must be set explicitly if needed, otherwise the template will be executed with nil context data.

Example

Given:

~/.local/share/chezmoi/.chezmoitemplates/foo

{{ if true }}bar{{ end }}

~/.local/share/chezmoi/dot_file.tmpl

{{ template "foo" . }}

The target state of .file will be bar.

While .chezmoitemplates/ directories can reside anywhere in the source state, it easiest to manage a single directory in the root of your source directory.
