Hi Derek, the best way would it sync it would probably be merging the master branch from Github once in a while. The tricky thing is some of the changes are bug fixes and others might be more aesthetic or introduce new functionalities. In any case, if it works well for you, there's really no need to have the latest version. Maybe, you could cherry pick the latest features if you like them.
For other static site generators like hugo, normally there is a theme section and you can just sync the latest theme, but since this does not have a such a strong separation of template vs data, it makes it a little harder!
On CMS, if you are fine with a git based workflow, I think netlify CMS or forestry would work. I use forestry on my corporate blog. Other popular choices would be prismic or sanity but there's definitely a higher learning curve.
Thanks Tim. That's a good point about the theme workflow compared to e.g. Hugo.
I've used Netlify CMS & Forestry as well as Stackbit Studio for handling the git based workflow in the past. Obsidian is a nice local choice for Markdown file management too. I'm not sure which of those I'd be particularly comfortable handing off to a client, though.
I appreciate your thoughts & especially your template! Have a good one!
