+name: Synchronize templates
+
+
+# This job is used to keep the repository templates up-to-date.
+# The code of the templates exist inside the monorepo, and upon releases we synchronize the repositories:
+# - https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk-minimal-template
+# - https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk-parachain-template
+# - https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk-solochain-template
+#
+# The job moves the template code out of the monorepo,
+# replaces any references to the monorepo workspace using psvm and toml-cli,
+# checks that it builds successfully,
+# and commits and pushes the result to each respective repository.
+# If the build fails, a PR is created instead for manual inspection.
+

+  # A manual dispatch for now - automatic on releases later.
