@dglazkov what did you want to do regarding this? I'm happy to set up the repo and syncing. but would need permission.

possibly, but that wouldn't stop the preview of the template and the template in the repo diverging

sorry I mean the actual contents of the template actually up on replit. as that wouldn't be updated by release, the result of the command in the `.replit` config could...

oooooh ok. I didn't expect the config would give you that much scope. I shall experiment further.

as the `create` package doesn't currently support merging into an existing directory I've done this inspired by your POC. what do you think? [](https://replit.com/new/github/ExaDev-io/breadboard-replit)
