Verify the steps with the official documentation at https://www.chezmoi.io/quick-start/

One thing to note is that you'll now have to generate an access token, since password authentication for github is now disabled.

I wish Chezmoi would update their official documentation, I'm not familiar with git at all so it took me some fumbling to get this up and running.

Use the package gh to install and authenticate with Github instead of password. It's very simple and better than password auth or messing around with SSH keys.

Regarding gh install and authentication, this post is straightforward: https://oorkan.medium.com/setup-the-github-cli-7ed3409d5703 I hope it helps a bit

Does this (and should it) manage software? Is there an equally easy way to install the programs these files configure? Like a one and done way to just get moving on your brand new laptop without really skipping a beat?
