Manage chezmoi source names, templates, secrets, diffs, and deployment in fmind/dot.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Chezmoi Source Standard

The source tree (`~/.local/share/chezmoi`) is the only thing to edit; `chezmoi apply` renders it into `$HOME`, so a change made under `~/.config` or `~/.gemini` is overwritten on the next apply. File names encode target path, mode, encryption, and rendering; [mise](../../../skills/mise/SKILL.md) wraps the commands as tasks.

## Naming

Read [source names](references/source-names.md) when adding or renaming a managed target; attributes depend on the target type.

## Workflow

1. **Edit the source**, never the deployed copy; `chezmoi cd` opens a shell in the source root.
1. **Manage an existing file**: `chezmoi add <target>` infers the attributes; `--template` templatizes; set a secret to `0600` before `--encrypt` imports it as `encrypted_private_<name>.age` (with `dot_` before a leading-dot name):

   ```bash
   chmod 600 ~/.config/<tool>/secret
   chezmoi add --encrypt ~/.config/<tool>/secret   # import and encrypt into the source
   chezmoi edit ~/.config/<tool>/secret            # edit the plaintext, re-encrypt on save
   ```
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add fmind/dot/chezmoi@sha256:5c6ac411a0a86f84

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261031.ad68ebd, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
