+# What this script does and why we need it?
+# This script synchronizes common configuration files from `example/` (the
+# source of truth) to all project templates in `templates/*/`. This ensures all
+# templates are up-to-date with shared configurations.
+#
+# When to run this script?
+# - After updating files/dirs listed below in the `example/` project.
+#   This can happen when updating the autorepro plugin version (see
+#   go/autorepro#releasing-to-gmaven) or making other manual changes.
+# - After adding a new project template under `templates/` to ensure it receives
+#   the common files followed by validating the newly synced template.
+#
+# Files/dirs synced between `example/` and `templates/*/`:
+# - .gitignore
+# - .run/
+# - gradle/
+# - gradle.properties
+# - gradlew
+# - gradlew.bat
+# - settings.gradle.kts
+#
+# Updating the above files/dirs in example and syncing:
+# 1. Make and validate changes in the `example/` project. This may include:
+#    - Updating `settings.gradle.kts` (e.g., plugin versions).
+#    - Running a Gradle sync in Android Studio which may update wrapper files.
+#    - Modifying shared `.run/` configurations or `.gitignore`.
+# 2. Run this script to propagate the changes to all templates:
+#    ./sync-common.sh
