I was in the process of migrating from no dotfile manager to chezmoi on two laptops.
I used ch add files on first laptop
I cloned the config on second laptop and templated the files to handle the config diff
The diff became very difficult to read and I could not apply with 100% trust, so I did backup existing files on second laptop (added .back on every files managed by chezmoi) and then applied
Turns out I broke some files (lost few lines) then I was happy to have the backup
I would find useful to provide a built-in --backup parameter to let chezmoi do itself the backup for every single file it would overwrite.
WDYT ?
EDIT: used that command to dump files before apply
