Add Package to packages.yaml

You are adding a package to the chezmoi package manifest at .chezmoidata/packages.yaml.

Process

1. If the user provided a package name, use it. Otherwise, ask the user what package they want to add.

2. Read .chezmoidata/packages.yaml to understand the current structure and existing packages.

3. Ask the user the following:

   Question 1 - Tier: Which tier should this package go in?

   • shared — installed on all machines regardless of profile
   • personal — only on personal machines
   • work — only on work machines

   Question 2 - Install method: How should the package be installed?

   • brew formula — Homebrew formula (CLI tool)
   • brew cask — Homebrew cask (GUI app or large binary)
   • brew tap + formula — Needs a custom tap first (ask for tap name as follow-up)
   • npm — npm global package

   If the user picks "brew tap + formula", ask a follow-up for the tap name (e.g. redis/redis).

4. Edit .chezmoidata/packages.yaml to add the package in the correct location:

   • shared + brew formula → under packages.shared.brews.formulae
   • shared + brew cask → under packages.shared.brews.casks
   • shared + npm → under packages.shared.npm
   • profile + brew formula → under packages.profiles.<profile>.brews.formulae
   • profile + brew cask → under packages.profiles.<profile>.brews.casks
   • profile + brew tap → add tap under packages.profiles.<profile>.brews.taps AND formula under packages.profiles.<profile>.brews.formulae
   • profile + npm → under packages.profiles.<profile>.npm

5. Add the package in alphabetical order within its list. Do not reorder existing entries.

6. After editing, show the user the diff of what changed.
