Refreshing Externals

This setup uses chezmoi externals for a few third-party assets (TPM, bat themes, Hammerspoon spoons, lowfi tracklists).

Externals are defined in:

• home/.chezmoiexternal.toml

Preconditions

• You changed external definitions or want to force a re-sync.

Steps

To force-refresh externals when applying:

chezmoi apply -R always

If you want to see what would happen without changing anything:

chezmoi apply -R always --dry-run --verbose

Verification

• Confirm the expected external directories/files were refreshed.
• Re-run:

chezmoi apply -R always --dry-run --verbose

and confirm no unexpected churn remains.

Rollback / Undo

• Revert the external declaration changes in home/.chezmoiexternal.toml.
• Apply normally:

chezmoi apply
