add target...
Add targets to the source state. If any target is already in the source state, then its source state is replaced with its current state in the destination directory.
--autotemplate
Automatically generate a template by replacing strings that match variable
values from the data section of the config file with their respective config
names as a template string. Longer substitutions occur before shorter ones.
This implies the --template option.
Warning
--autotemplate uses a greedy algorithm which occasionally generates
templates with unwanted variable substitutions. Carefully review any
templates it generates.
--encrypt
Configuration:
add.encrypt
Encrypt files using the defined encryption method.
-f, --force
Add targets, even if doing so would cause a source template to be overwritten.
--follow
If the last part of a target is a symlink, add the target of the symlink instead of the symlink itself.
--exact
Set the exact attribute on added directories.
-i, --include types
Only add entries of type types.
-p, --prompt
Interactively prompt before adding each file.
-q, --quiet
Suppress warnings about adding ignored entries.
-r, --recursive
Recursively add all files, directories, and symlinks.
-s, --secrets ignore|warning|error
Configuration:
add.secrets
Action to take when a secret is found when adding a file. The default is
warning.
-T, --template
Set the template attribute on added files and symlinks.
--template-symlinks
Configuration:
add.templateSymlinks
When adding symlink to an absolute path in the source directory or destination
directory, create a symlink template with .chezmoi.sourceDir or
.chezmoi.homeDir. This is useful for creating portable absolute symlinks.
Bug
chezmoi add will fail if the entry being added is in a directory
implicitly created by an
external.
See this GitHub issue for
details.
Example
$ chezmoi add ~/.bashrc
$ chezmoi add ~/.gitconfig --template
$ chezmoi add ~/.ssh/id_rsa --encrypt
$ chezmoi add ~/.vim --recursive
$ chezmoi add ~/.oh-my-zsh --exact --recursive
