apply [target...]

Ensure that target... are in the target state, updating them if necessary. If no targets are specified, the state of all targets are ensured. If a target has been modified since chezmoi last wrote it then the user will be prompted if they want to overwrite the file.

Common flags

-x, --exclude types

--8<-- "common-flags/exclude.md"

-i, --include types

--8<-- "common-flags/include.md"

--init

-P, --parent-dirs
