Uses Copier's update model
Answers files identify the upstream template and preserve each repository's recorded choices.
GitHub App for Copier
Template updates, delivered as pull requests.
Install once to receive weekly updates from each repository's configured Copier template. No repository workflow, personal access token, or repository secret required.
Reviewable
Every change arrives as a pull request
Review generated changes, CI results, and conflicts before deciding whether to merge.
Central
No per-repository workflow
The installed GitHub App supplies narrow repository tokens only while each update runs.
Install the App on Copier-managed repositories.
A weekly schedule or owner request selects eligible repositories.
Copier renders the configured upstream template and refreshes known lockfiles.
A dedicated branch and pull request expose the update for review.
