chezmoi: Edit the source state of a tracked dotfile.

chezmoi

$ chezmoi edit ${filename}

try on your machine

The command "chezmoi edit ${filename}" is used to open a file for editing using the Chezmoi tool.

Chezmoi is a dotfile (configuration files) manager that helps in maintaining consistent configuration across multiple systems. It allows you to manage and synchronize dotfiles across various machines.

In this particular command, "${filename}" is a placeholder for the name of the file you want to edit. You need to replace "${filename}" with the actual name of the file you want to open.

When you run the command, Chezmoi will open the specified file using the default text editor associated with your system. You can then make the necessary changes to the file and save it. Chezmoi will automatically track the changes you made and manage the synchronization of the file across different systems.
