About:
Chezmoi is a command-line tool that helps you manage your dotfiles across multiple machines. It securely handles private data by encrypting secrets and supports templating to adapt configurations to different operating systems. The tool ensures your development environment is consistent and version-controlled.

Key Features:

Securely manages secrets with encryption
Multi-machine and OS-aware templating
Atomic operations and easy rollbacks
Supports Git and other version control systems

Use Cases:

Synchronizing shell and editor configurations across personal and work laptops
Managing developer environment setup for teams

Alternatives:

yadm – Git-based dotfile manager with conditional features, but less focus on templating and encryption
GNU stow – Classic symlink farm manager, lacks built-in templating and secret handling
