Troubleshooting

The first step should be to run chezmoi_modify_manager --doctor and correct any issues reported. This will help identify some common issues:

  • chezmoi_modify_manager needs to be in PATH
  • **/*.src.ini needs to be ignored in the root .chezmoiignore file
  • Old chezmoi and/or using CHEZMOI_MODIFY_MANAGER_ASSUME_CHEZMOI_VERSION, see this documentation for more details on when or when not to use this.
