apply [target...]

Ensure that target... are in the target state, updating them if necessary. If no targets are specified, the state of all targets are ensured. If a target has been modified since chezmoi last wrote it then the user will be prompted if they want to overwrite the file.

Common flags

-x, --exclude types

Exclude entries of type types, defaults to none.

-i, --include types

Only add entries of type types, defaults to all.

--init

Recreate config file from template.

-P, --parent-dirs

Also perform command on all parent directories of target.

-r, --recursive

Recurse into subdirectories, true by default. Can be disabled with --recursive=false.

--source-path

Specify targets by source path, rather than target path. This is useful for applying changes after editing.

Examples

$ chezmoi apply
$ chezmoi apply --dry-run --verbose
$ chezmoi apply ~/.bashrc
