 # This job is used to keep the repository templates up-to-date.
 # The code of the templates exist inside the monorepo, and upon releases we synchronize the repositories:

-# - https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk-parachain-template
-# - https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk-solochain-template

+# - https://github.com/paritytech-stg/polkadot-sdk-solochain-template

 # The job moves the template code out of the monorepo,
 # replaces any references to the monorepo workspace using psvm and toml-cli,
