The goal behind this PR is address the issue raised in this blog post:
Specifically, the "It's a bit manual to keep updated" bit.
With this PR, the user can add
to their login scripts and
chezmoi update
will run at most once every 24 hours. The same issue was raised by @oryjkov some time ago.Basically, this allows users to keep their dotfiles up to date across multiple machines, without any manual intervention, and without chezmoi having to run any kind of daemon.
This is a draft PR, but all feedback, particularly on the user experience aspects, is very welcome.
