Recommended Workflow

Although backup operations can be executed at any time, they are most useful before making changes to project templates.

Typical situations include:

• Updating commit message templates.
• Modifying tag message templates.
• Testing alternative template formats.
• Experimenting with release workflows.
• Performing project maintenance.

💡Create Backups Before Editing

It is generally easier to create a backup before making changes than trying to recover a previous version afterward.

Creating backups regularly helps preserve a history of template revisions.
