Bake recreates tmp templates for files.

[genellern]

After I bake the first module, I have some new files inside tmp folder, which are supposed to be the templates used to generate my files.
Then I modify those templates to make them match what my code will look like, when I go back to the console and run the same command (bake all) it also recreates the templates, therefore I lose my changes.

bin/cake bake all Roles (for my case)

If I want to keep my changes and still use the templates, I have to remove a permission like

chmod -w tmp/*.php

And then I get this error:

Permission denied in [/Library/WebServer/Documents/Platform/vendor/cakephp/bake/src/View/BakeView.php, line 173]

This is expected, don't you think? Files in tmp are volatile. You should not modify anything in tmp by hand.

It seems that you should create a bake 'theme' for your needs: http://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/bake/development.html#creating-a-bake-theme
