chezmoi init ArmandPhilippotYou'll be asked to fill in some information in order to apply the dotfiles and install the packages:
- the profile to load (to determine the packages to install)
- your full name (used with Git)
- the email you use with Git
- the GPG signing key to use with this email
For the same reasons described on: https://dotfiles.github.io/
Why would I want my dotfiles on GitHub?
- Backup, restore, and sync the prefs and settings for your toolbox. Your dotfiles might be the most important files on your machine.
- Learn from the community. Discover new tools for your toolbox and new tricks for the ones you already use.
- Share what you’ve learned with the rest of us.
The dotfiles reside in the home directory of this repository.
I try to comply to the XDG Base Directory specification as much as possible to limit the amount of files in $HOME. I'm also using some unofficial XDG variables following the Home directory hierarchy.

For most of the dotfiles, I don't see the interest to put them under a license so you can do whatever you want with them.
There are some exceptions:
- convto is licensed under the MIT license
- new-vhost is licensed under the MIT license
- fuzbat is only adapted by me so the credit goes to Casey Brant. I don't see a license but maybe I'm wrong.
- the various Git submodules include their own license:
- nvm is licensed under the MIT license
