So what has your experience been with devcontainers and dotfiles? #79

I'm looking to start using a dotfile repo, mainly because I use so many devcontainers now and I'm sick of not having a consistent shell. How is chezmoi?

Hi @shadycuz 👋!

My experience with devcontainers and dotfiles has been great! Chezmoi is awesome!

Little demo:

Oh yeah thats super sweet =).

I'm wondering if I should have Chezmoi call Ansible to do my machine bootstrapping, not my dev containers but my actual machine. Instead of trying to make my install scripts idempotent.

Bro, I spent countless hours because I didn't do that. I think I would do that, if I were to start now.

What did you do for visual studio code? Are you still setting the file extension stuff to helm?

felipecrs commented 2 years ago

Yes, for yaml files I'm using the Helm Intellisense. For everything else, I try to put the template markers in comment blocks so it does not affect the whole file syntax.

Like this:
