synopsis:

IMPORTANT: There is no easy way to resume Pi at a previous session based on its session name (session names are just non-unique labels).

• Do not execute the generate command if the current branch is not main or its working tree is not clean.
• If the generate command is specified with the -c, --continue option then do not put the -C option in the Git switch command.
• The generate command should execute git switch before (not after) the pi command.

## Applications

Here's the list of some of the application configurations managed by Chezmoi (run `git ls-files` for a full list):

- bash
- GNOME desktop shortcuts (installed manually)
- Helix
- lazygit
- mise
- neovim
- nushell
- recoll
- Remmina
- tmux
- Vim
- Vimium (installed manually)
- zsh

## Installing and updating on secondary machines from Github repository

My desktop machines NFS-mount my shared documents directory to `~/share`; the local chezmoi repository is in `~/share/projects/chezmoi` and it's just a matter of:

1. Copying the `~/.config/chezmoi/chezmoi.toml` file from the primary desktop PC which points chezmoi to the shared NFS location.
2. Run `chezmoi apply` to copy the chezmoi source files to their target locations.

### 24-Oct-2026

Weird error (non-repeatable):

This error occurs when I start a Neovim session in herdr (it does not occur outside herdr):

E5108: Lua: [string "vim/_core/editor"]:355: nvim_exec2(), line 1: Vim(normal):E756: Spell checking is not possible stack traceback: [C]: in function 'nvim_exec2' [string "vim/_core/editor"]:355: in function 'cmd' /home/srackham/.config/nvim/lua/keymaps.lua:7: in function 'n' /home/srackham/.config/nvim/lua/keymaps.lua:14: in function </home/srackham/.config/nvim/lua/keymaps.lua:5>

### Machines that do not have access to the NFS projects directory mounts

See _Using chezmoi across multiple machines_ in `~/share/notes/chezmoi-notes.md`.

## Manually Exported/Imported Configurations

The `resources` directory contains files that are managed manually:

### Browser Bookmarks

Exported from Brave browser.

- Open [Bookmarks Manager](brave://bookmarks/) (C-S-o).
- Run the _Export bookmarks_ command in the ⋮ menu (vertical ellipsis menu, top right) and save bookmarks file to `~/.local/share/chezmoi/resources/bookmarks.html`.

### GNOME Desktop key bindings

- Export GNOME custom key bindings with:

chezmoi-dump-gnome-bindings # Alias

dconf dump /org/gnome/desktop/wm/keybindings/ > resources/wm-keybindings.dconf &&
dconf dump /org/gnome/shell/keybindings/ > resources/shell-keybindings.dconf

- Use the dconf load command to restore custom GNOME key binding from the dump file. See `./resources/post-install-config.sh` for details.

dconf load /org/gnome/desktop/wm/keybindings/ < resources/wm-keybindings.dconf &&
dconf load /org/gnome/shell/keybindings/ < resources/shell-keybindings.dconf

### Vimium Options

The Vimium browser extension options are in the `vimium-options.json` file. Manually save and restore them using the backup and restore commands on the _Backup and Restore_ section of the Vimium extension Options page.
