Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm always frustrated when I log into a machine that I've never logged into before and don't have my personal environment set up, even if that machine is shared with other people.
Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to run
$ chezmoi ssh somemachine.com
and SSH into
somemachine.com
with my personal setup activated onsomemachine.com
. For example, I should be in my favorite shell with my personal config files active.Describe alternatives you've considered
#1410 describes installing dotfiles remotely over ssh.
#3675 describes wanting your own configuration on a machine shared with other people.
Additional context
This is a stretch goal for chezmoi. Go has excellent support for ssh, and this is mostly possible by setting environment variables like
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME
for the ssh session.It's technically possible, but please don't expect anything soon.
