Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
We currently rely on the latest tag to check for template updates in the template's YAML.
This was added because copier (at the time) did not support template version checks.
This was added recently, so there is no longer a need for it.
Describe the solution you'd like
- Reliance on
latest should be depreciated in favour of keeping the template's version.
This would make .copier_answers.yml more useful, as it now would show the specific template version used in _commit:
- The
README.md should instruct users to use the latest version explicitly (this should be automated / tested so we do not need to manually update it).
Describe alternatives you've considered
A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.
