chezmoi.nvim

Edit your chezmoi-managed files and automatically apply.

What Is chezmoi.nvim?

chezmoi.nvim is a plugin designed to assist in editing and applying chezmoi-managed files within neovim. A notable distinction from the command line tool chezmoi is that chezmoi.nvim utilizes built-in neovim functions for file editing, allowing us to edit and watch multiple files simultaneously.

Getting Started
