This reads like it was written by an LLM.

AI reviews are flaky - maybe correct 80% of the time - and everyone hates flakiness.
AI code reviews easily double the work in reviewing: you have to both review the original code and the AI code review. The AI code review can be 80% correct, but you never know which 80% is correct and which 20% is garbage, so you have to review all the AI's comments.

chezmoi has similar functionality, but it does install a binary on the target machine:

deepwiki.com is untrustworthy AI slop. A true cancer.
deepwiki.com's generated page on my project contains several glaring errors. I hate to think of the extra support burden I will have to bear because of deepwiki.com publishing wrong information.
I asked the authors of the site (Andrew Gao) to remove their page on my project, but they ignored my request.

This is really cool and innovative thinking, but anything aerodynamic does not scale linearly. It's really easy to make something light fall slowly. Baby spiders use "ballooning" -- a single thread -- to fall so slowly that they can travel far in thermal updrafts.
What's missing here is any evidence that the same cool parachutes will work on anything of significant mass, e.g. a parcel weighing 2kg or an average human weighing 80kg.

Ah! Thank you! How can I update the story URL to point to GitHub's new dashboard feed?
Comment · 1 year ago
Original URL was https://github.com/dashboard-feed.
Presumably some HN mod changed the URL to point to something different?

You don't have to use vimdiff. You can use any merge tool you want. See https://www.chezmoi.io/user-guide/tools/merge/.
> Often my changes are speculative or experimental. So I checkout, edit, apply and only then discover I’ve messed up. Or I can edit in place. Voila vimdiff!
> What’s the better way?
There are lots of options. See https://www.chezmoi.io/user-guide/frequently-asked-questions....
Personally, I tend to use `chezmoi edit` and then use git in my source directory to `git add -p . && git commit` the changes I want to keep and `git checkout` to discard the changes I don't want.

chezmoi includes secret scanning from https://gitleaks.io/ by default to catch when you accidentally add a file with a secret in it. To be even more confident, you should add gitleaks as a git hook to your repo however.
