For those who are convinced and want a slightly more convenient tool for doing this: try yadm.

As someone who used yadm, and switched to chezmoi, the main reason was templating was so much better in chezmoi, no external dependencies.

Also less need on any scripts to set things up, due to chezmoi being more "deterministic" which means applying everything was a lot faster too.
