chezmoi-telescope.nvim

Custom Telescope Picker for Chez Moi Managed Dot Files!

Also adds neovim commands to:

• add

• forget

• 're-add'

  • Chezmoi does not overwrite template files and neither will this command

• update chezmoi's source

Installation

All that is needed is to install the plugin and load the telescope extension via require("telescope").load_extension("chezmoi").

Here is an example with Lazy:

{
    "nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim",
    dependencies = {
        { "GianniBYoung/chezmoi-telescope.nvim" },
    },
    config = function()
        require("telescope").load_extension("chezmoi")
    end,
}

Pre-reqs

• Chez Moi

• Telescope

• nvim-web-devicons (optional)

Usage

• :Telescope chezmoi dotfiles -> Open telescope picker populated with Chezmoi managed dot files

  • This opens the file in chezmoi's source dir

• :Telescope chezmoi dotfiles liveDots=true -> Open telescope picker populated with (Live) Chezmoi managed dot files

  • This opens the actual dotfile on your system

• :ChezmoiAdd -> add the current file to Chezmoi

• :ChezmoiReAdd -> re-add the current file to Chezmoi

• :ChezmoiRemove -> remove the current file from Chezmoi

• :ChezmoiUpdate -> Pull down the remote source

Options

The available options are:

1. :Telescope chezmoi dotfiles option1=value1 option2=bool2

2. require('telescope').extensions.chezmoi.dotfiles({option1="value1", option2=bool2})

Features

This plugin provides a custom picker for telescope that populates results with files from $CHEZMOI_SOURCE_DIR and opens the result in a new buffer on selection.

Roadmap

• Better icons in picker

• Better error handling
