To verify the generated project by the template, we should have a workflow to generate the sample project and commit changes to the repository on each PR. That means, after making and pushing some changes in the template structure into a PR, the new workflow that will generate and push a new commit directly into that PR to show the new updates for the sample project.
This approach has some concerns are:
Pushing a new commit via a bot account after a commit from the author will cause the author can not push new commits without pulling or force-pushing 👉 Since, the bot pushes the new commits to update the project, the author can ignore those and force-push new update commits into their PRs. The bot will push new commits afterward by combining all the changes in the final sample project ✅
The bot will not push an update commit without changes ✅
We can review both all changes from the template structure and the generated project result (sample) at the same time in one PR ✅
[!NOTE]
We must build a simple initial script to generate the template to push the changes.
