Does it support file permissions like executable scripts?

Absolutely. It uses 'chezmoi chattr +x' to ensure scripts maintain their executable status when added to the source, following chezmoi's naming conventions.

What happens if I have changes on multiple machines?

The skill helps you walk through each file one-by-one, allowing you to choose whether to apply the source version, update the source from your local file, or perform a manual merge.

How does this skill handle chezmoi templates?

It renders Go templates using the 'chezmoi cat' command to show real-world differences rather than raw template syntax, making it much easier to compare against local files.

Can I use this to push changes to my GitHub dotfiles repository?

Yes. After resolving differences, the skill offers an integrated Git workflow to stage, commit, and push changes from your chezmoi source directory.
