This page explains the role of .vstack/templates/ in a repository installation.
When you run vstack install in a repository, vstack can seed starter files under .vstack/templates/.
These files are project-owned guidance stubs. They help teams document local role workflows and artifact patterns.
- Existing files in
.vstack/templates/are not overwritten by latervstack initruns. - New files may be added by newer vstack versions.
- Files in this directory are outside manifest-managed
.github/artifact checks.
- Keep useful stubs and adapt them to your team conventions.
- Commit your local edits if they are part of your repository workflow.
- Use them as project-local guidance, not as generated output.
Editing .vstack/templates/ does not regenerate .github/ artifacts.
Use vstack init to regenerate managed artifacts under .github/ from installed vstack templates and your .vstack/config.yaml settings.
