fest system sync

System: Download latest fest templates from GitHub

Synopsis

Download the latest fest methodology templates from GitHub to ~/.obey/fest/

This is a SYSTEM command that maintains fest itself, not your festival content. It fetches the complete .festival/ template structure from the configured repository and stores it locally for use with 'fest init' and 'fest system update'.

Run this periodically to get the latest methodology templates and documentation.
