xt-sync

xt-sync command enables copying and updating configuration files.

When adding more features to an extension project, it is helpful to *not* start from scratch. xt-sync command enables extension projects to pull in starter configuration files for the purposes of linting, setting up automated CI builds, and for setting up git VCS.

The configuration files are intended as a starting point. If you end up modifying them heavily at a project level, you should continue to maintain them manually instead of using this command.

If you do not modify these configuration files, you can sync the latest version periodically, to update to the latest version supplied by this CLI.
