Consolidate template documentation #792

Closed twpayne closed 4 years ago

twpayne commented 4 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

chezmoi's templating unlocks a lot of functionality. The current template documentation is split between the how-to, the reference manual, and various GitHub issues (e.g. #722, #749, #774, #780, #787, #790), which makes it hard for users to find the solutions they are looking for.

Describe the solution you'd like

chezmoi should have a specific how-to-use-templates document, consolidating all of the above.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Keeping chezmoi's template documentation as-is. Not good.

Additional context
