Describe the solution you'd like

I've added a folder using chezmoi add /path/to/folder but when I add new files to that folder I have to manually remember to run chezmoi add /path/to/folder each time. Is there a way to automatically add new files to a folder that's currently monitored by chezmoi?

Describe alternatives you've considered

Have not found an alternative.

Additional context

An example use case would be a folder that have my passwords encrypted using gopass. When adding new passwords it create new files and those files are not added automatically.

Thanks, @twpayne but that doesn’t seem to be the solution especially I’m on a Mac. I’ll look into creating a pre-commit git hook instead. Is there a way to list all the directories that chezmoi currently monitor?
