.chezmoiroot

If a file called .chezmoiroot exists in the root of the source directory then the source state is read from the directory specified in .chezmoiroot interpreted as a relative path to the source directory. .chezmoiroot is read before all other files in the source directory.

Warning

If you use this approach, you must move all other "source root" files such as .chezmoi.$FORMAT.tmpl into your new root.
