Migrate away from chezmoi
chezmoi provides several mechanisms to help you move to an alternative dotfile manager (or even no dotfile manager at all) in the future:
chezmoi creates your dotfiles just as if you were not using a dotfile manager at
all. Your dotfiles are regular files, directories, and symlinks. You can run
chezmoi purge
to delete all traces of
chezmoi and then, if you're migrating to a new dotfile manager, then you can use
whatever mechanism it provides to add your dotfiles to your new system.
chezmoi has a chezmoi archive
command
that generates a tarball of your dotfiles. You can replace the contents of your
dotfiles repo with the contents of the archive and you've effectively
immediately migrated away from chezmoi.
chezmoi has a chezmoi dump
command that
dumps the interpreted (target) state in a machine-readable form, so you can
write scripts around chezmoi.
