To be honest I don't think there's a good general solution to that problem. Updating a file that you haven't changed might be straightforward enough, but if you'd added your own linting rules (for example) then it becomes much more complicated. And then there are things like files being renamed, etc. I think it's better to completely decouple the template from the project once it's been created, otherwise you're talking about a lot of engineering effort (which is against this project's philosophy) for minimal gain.
The nice thing about the repo-as-template model is that we already have a pretty good way of solving this problem: visit the repo and look at the commit history, either for the repo as a whole or the file that you're interested in such as .eslintrc.json
. Then you can easily just copy and paste the new data into your project, manually addressing any deviations that would be almost impossible to automate. Or if your git-fu is strong, you could even pull specific commits from the template into your project.
I think that's better than building something complicated and degit-specific, so I'll close this issue. Thanks!
