How to pronounce chezmoi

chezmoi is most commonly pronounced "shay mwa" (/ʃeɪ mwa/). This pronunciation is documented by the project itself (see chezmoi official FAQ (Design)).

CLI dotfiles manager. Name = French "chez moi" ("at my house"). Official FAQ documents the pronunciation as /ʃeɪ mwa/ "shay-mwa". Non-obvious because the spelling looks English/German; the "z" is silent and "oi" is the French [wa], not English "oy".

Pronouncing project and product names correctly avoids the small but persistent friction of being gently corrected during standups, conference Q&As, and team calls. Hearing the word a few times locks in the right reading better than reading IPA ever will.
