As a puppet content maintainer, I want a coherent way to maintain content across my repos without having to manually make changes for every piece of content in every repo so that I can have a consistent code base with best/latest design values and functionality.
Acceptance Criteria
New narrative document to walkthrough using modulesync with PCT scaffolded content which covers:

There needs to be a way to keep modules, control repositories, etc in sync with a template.
At some point people will create "artifacts" from these PCT's but as things evolve the goal will be to update the "upstream" template and then have the "artifacts" sync back those updates, if they choose.
This comes with some challenges in this current model:
- If there is a complete template you are syncing from this might be easier but still needs to be doable.
- If you created the components from different templates (public, private, etc) this needs to be tracked I would guess in some sort of pdk/pct configuration to allow to "update"/"sync" from their individual upstream sources.
- So you could have now created a custom template (or repo, or module) that is a combination of different upstream sources. You might want to keep those in sync. Base template, maybe a gitlab-ci template, GH Actions template, etc.
You could have pct update all that goes through all the upstream pieces and creates an update_report.txt.
You could do pct update puppetlabs/editorconfig.
You could do combination of pct update puppetlabs/puppet-control-repo, pct update puppetlabs/editorconfig, pct update thirdparty/puppet-fact factname, pct update thirdparty/bolt-plan planname.
