I know this is eventually going to be a feature, but I was wondering if someone had already made a pre build batch to assets/files from pre determined folders and sub folder into the currently building project.
Specifically I have enough projects at this point which all rely on TurboGML, and a custom set of functions I've built over the years.

It would be nice if my template project would just contain a single pre build batch and it would keep all of my libraries up to date in all of my projects. Added benefit would be not ever needing to update my template file, and simply updating the project it's pulling from.

Does something like this exist already?

attempts have been made in the past but ultimately this is a job for a package manager

i believe Butterscotch Shenanigan's Stitch tool is as close as we've yet gotten

That's a real shame, i realized i needed to update about 20 repos because of a bug in a function in my personal use library

Yeah, I made one in Python exactly for this... last time I tested it without the new yy format it worked though.

But if you want to update all 20 repos, well...
I think you can write a yml file for each repo, that points to the personal library you mention and it should work
