Workflow for automatically commit and push changes in source directory

[axhamre]

When I add or re-add files they get automatically committed and pushed to my repo.

However for daily changes this doesn't seem to work for me, i.e. when I do changes in my source directory and then run chezmoi apply. Is this supposed to work?

My chezmoi.toml:

[edit]
    command = "code"
    args = ["--wait"]
[git]
    autoCommit = true
    autoPush = true

No. autoCommit and autoPush only work when chezmoi knows that you've made changes to your source directory, i.e. after commands like chezmoi add, chezmoi edit, chezmoi import, and so on.

chezmoi apply only tells chezmoi to update your home directory. You might have local changes that you're just testing and don't want to commit yet, so it doesn't autocommit or autopush.
