Document how to lay down this template on an existing repo

[ioggstream]

I expect

• document how to copy this template files on an existing repo

Note

For example, the following command clones this repo in /tmp and uses tar do lay down the missing files on the curent directory.

cd /my/current/repo
git clone https://github.com/par-tec/python-cookiecutter/ /tmp 
# copy missing files to current repo using tar, without overwriting (-k)
git -C /tmp/python-cookiecutter ls-files | \
  xargs tar -C /tmp/python-cookiecutter --create --file - | \
  tar -k -xf -

• https://github.com/par-tec/python-cookiecutter/archive/refs/heads/main.tar.gz
