After creating the directory with install -d -m 0700 .chezmoi, the command works as expected. But, to make setup easier, I think the command should create the directory for me :)

There's a chezmoi init command that creates ~/.chezmoi, but I think you're right that it's easier to just do it on the first add.

This functionality is now in the add command, and I've removed the init command. Thanks for the feedback!
