chezmoi2.74.0

chezmoi lets you manage dotfiles across multiple machines, keeping the configuration files that shape your working environment organized as those machines differ. It addresses the problem of maintaining settings in several places without treating every computer’s configuration as an entirely separate task. The result is a manageable way to maintain personal and environment-specific configuration across diverse systems.

Users typically use it when moving between computers or maintaining several Linux systems that need related configuration. Its scope includes dotfiles, which are files that control aspects of a user’s working environment, rather than general documents or application content. Security is part of its intended approach, making it relevant when configuration management must be handled with protection in mind.

Tom Payne publishes chezmoi as a Linux system tool under an open-source license. Version 2.74.0 is intended for x86_64, also known as amd64, hardware. Running it requires Linux together with snapd.
