templates: check for existence of files and directories in target directory

[j-lakeman]

E.g. I'd like to export environment variables for my shell based on the existence of directories.
I’ve searched the docs and the web, unfortunately without success.
Looking for sth similar to this shell expression:

test -f .bashrc

Help would be much appreciated!

{{ if (stat (joinPath .chezmoi.homeDir ".bashrc")) }}…{{ else }}…{{ end }}

Cheers mate, appreciate your help!
Is there a way to create a wrapper so that I could do sth like {{ if exists ".bashrc" }}?

You should be able to use

{{ if stat ".bashrc" }}

as templates are always executed with your home directory as the working directory, so the call to joinPath isn't strictly needed (but certainly helps portability when testing).
