    I tried chezmoi, and wanted to love it… but I just can’t. IMHO, it’s complicated, which is why I built this one.

      Yeah, there are a lot of bells and whistles and a fundamental difference between the way they intend to manage dotfiles and the way stow does. Makes it difficult to get started.

      One thing that helped me when I was first getting into it: Chezmoi doesn’t like compartmentalization like stow. It supports it, but it want’s you to lean into the config langue a bit before you start doing that.

      If you do that you can get away with only touching the add, cd, and update commands.
