10/02/2026, 8:25 AMHi folks! If anyone has any nice tips and tricks for template syncs: things that they routinely do for merges, I'd really appreciate it if you added them to this issue: github.com/nf-core/agents/issues/12
I'm trying to aggregate community wisdom on the topic in order to teach LLMs to be really good at it, so that template syncs become quicker and easier.
