Allow specify apply order

[bingo084]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I managed encrypt file .ssh/id_rsa and some external private repo:

[".config/xx"]
    type = "git-repo"
    url = "git@github.com:xx/xx.git"

It works fine under normal circumstances.

However, when init on a new machine, .ssh/id_rsa is apply after .config/xx, resulting in no permission to pull git@github.com:xx/xx.git.

Describe the solution you'd like

Looks like the apply order is alphabetical.

I wish there was a way to specify the order of apply, or there is some other way to solve it.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Try to use run_before script to chezmoi apply .ssh/id_rsa first, but it's not allowed to run another chezmoi in chezmoi

Additional context

Another alternative is to call apply 2 times:

$ chezmoi apply -k
$ chezmoi apply

From docs:

-k, --keep-going
Keep going as far as possible after a encountering an error.

I wish there was a way to specify the order of apply, or there is some other way to solve it.

I would suggest the following:

1. In your .chezmoiexternal file, exclude .config/xx if you're running chezmoi init:

# .chezmoiexternal.tompl
{{ if not has "init" .chezmoi.args }}
[".config/xx"]
    type = "git-repo"
    url = "git@github.com:xx/xx.git"
{{ end }}

2. Use a run_once_after_ script to checkout the repo on first run:

#!/bin/bash
# run_once_after_checkout-config-xx.sh
git clone git@github.com:xx/xx.git .config/xx

There seems to be a problem with the template syntax, after change accroding to above.

Run chezmoi update:

chezmoi: /Users/bingo/.local/share/chezmoi/.chezmoiexternal.toml: template: /Users/bingo/.local/share/chezmoi/.chezmoiexternal.toml:9:6: executing "/Users/bingo/.local/share/chezmoi/.chezmoiexternal.toml" at <not>: wrong number of args for not: want 1 got 3

Directly execute template chezmoi execute-template < .chezmoiexternal.toml

chezmoi: template: stdin:9:6: executing "stdin" at <not>: wrong number of args for not: want 1 got 3

@bingo084 Try if not (has "init" .chezmoi.args)

@bingo084 Try if not (has "init" .chezmoi.args)

It works, thanks!
