What is "the bundle" / "Ship template update needed"?

Ship publishes template files and configuration that live inside your repository — small Markdown files that describe what Ship can do and how your team has configured it. The "bundle" is the version of those files. When Ship publishes an update (new features, bug fixes, or refined defaults), the Ship workspace home will show a banner that says "Ship template update needed."

You apply the update by clicking the button in the banner. This creates a pull request in your code repository with the changes, just like any other code change. You review the pull request, see what Ship is changing, and either approve or request changes. Once you merge the pull request, your repository is up to date with the latest Ship templates.
