Adding a chezmoi-autopush bash script gives an error: cannot add chezmoi file to chezmoi

[gerardnico]

Hallo,

I have written a little bash script named chezmoi-autopush to add, commit and push the git repository of chezmoi in the ~/bin directory.

The content is:

chezmoi git add .
chezmoi git -- commit -m "$1"
chezmoi git push -u origin main

But I got an error when I try to add it:

chezmoi add "~/bin/chezmoi-autopush"

chezmoi: /home/nico/bin/chezmoi-autopush: cannot add chezmoi file to chezmoi (/home/nico/bin/chezmoi is protected)

The error comes from this condition

Can I solve this error without rewriting the name of the bash script?
How can I make this path unprotected?

Thank you

Why not use chezmoi's existing autopush support?

[gerardnico]

Man. I'm lost in the notification of GitHub. Sorry for the late answer. I just didn't see it.

I came back to give a solution. Namely installing it in another location

sudo sh -c "$(curl -fsLS get.chezmoi.io)" -- -b /usr/local/bin

Why not use chezmoi's existing support?
Because I may modify multiple files for one change and I want to keep the atomicity not at the file level but at the change level.

Thanks for the answer.
