# initialize — clones repo, applies configs, runs setup scripts
chezmoi init --source ~/strata/10-19_system/13_system-config/dotfiles --apply gary-host-laptop

# that's it. chezmoi will:
# 1. clone/sync this repo
# 2. run run_onchange_install-packages.sh (dnf, flatpak, cargo)
# 3. run run_once_setup-xdg.sh (user dirs, fonts, cursor)
# 4. run run_once_setup-storage.sh (hdd symlinks)
# 5. run run_once_generate-nushell-init.sh (starship/zoxide for nu)
# 6. apply all managed files to ~/

ｍｕｌｔｉ‑ｍａｃｈｉｎｅ

templates (.tmpl files) use {{ if eq (.machine | default "fedora") "..." }} to render different configs per machine (| default "fedora" keeps working even if machine is unset).

on each machine, create ~/.config/chezmoi/chezmoi.toml:

[data]
machine = "fedora"   # or "nixos"

# per-machine values for templated secrets — never stored in the repo
[data.amule]
kadUdpKey = "0"            # optional; omitted → aMule regenerates (0)
[data.nicotine]
password = "..."           # nicotine+ soulseek password; omitted → ""

chezmoi compiles templates on each machine, so the same source produces different outputs. missing amule/nicotine data degrades to neutered values (0 / "") so the repo still applies on a fresh machine.
