Does not work when using chezmoi

[screendriver]

I'm using chezmoi to manage my dotfiles. Unfortunately I can't use Dotfyle because it does not allow me to select my init.lua. I think the reason for that is that the files and directories named a litte bit differently.

For example the path to my init.lua is dot_config/nvim/init.lua.tmpl. dot_ because every hidden (dot) directory starts with dot_ and .tmpl because I'm using templating.

I personally faced this issue a few weeks ago. I decided to separate my neovim config from my chezmoi dotfiles using .chezmoiexternal.toml

I thought a lot about it before pulling the trigger, but I think it makes things easier this way because:

• you can easily share your neovim config with others
• it isolates my neovim config outside of my machine configs, but it still part of my dotfile config somehow
• I can easily create neovim config branches when I want to test things out
