-When a project has not been worked on recently, it may need updates of 
-various files, such as CI configuration files. 
+When adding more features to an extension project, it may be helpful
+to not start from scratch. `xt-sync` command enables extension projects
+to pull in starter configuration files for the purposes of linting, 
+setting up automated CI builds, and for setting up git VCS.
 
-The purpose of this command is to make that update process simple by
-allowing each project to choose which configuration files to update.
-The CLI will then supply the project with the most recent configuration
-files.
+The configuration files are intended as a starting point. If you
+end up modifying them heavily at a project level, you should continue
+to maintain them manually instead of using this command.
 
-**Note:** If the configuration files have been modified heavily for 
-an individual project, it is not advisable to upgrade them in this manner. 
-Instead you should upgrade such configuration files manually.
+If you do not modify these configuration files, you can sync the 
+latest version periodically, to update to the latest version supplied
+by this CLI.
