Please explain the motivation behind the feature request:

Currently, configuration changes move the original configuration file to a new location such as ~/.config/goose/config.yaml.bak, ~/.config/goose/config.yaml.bak.1, ~/.config/goose/config.yaml.bak.2, etc.

This breaks any set up that uses symlinks pointing to a central "dotfiles" location.

Describe the solution you'd like

Instead of moving the original file, create a copy of it, then modify it in place.

Describe alternatives you've considered:

None. The current system completely breaks my workflow, making it impossible to save Goose configs in my dotfiles.

Additional context:

None.
