Suppose you always start from the same base app. This base app is maintained in a repo called "freshstart". Every project you start, you want it to start with the "freshstart" base app.
You also want you project to be linked to "freshstart", so that every time it is updated, your new project gets the updates to it's base app as well.

git pull --rebase Used to prevent the prompt for a commit message when merging using git pull, and also apparently makes a more readable commit history.

solution to suppressing git-merge commit message prompt that I wasn't able to get working. I ended up using the
git pull --rebase <repo> <branch>command to suppress the prompt, although there might be other implications that are messing with my commits & pushes that I haven't figured out yet. -
more info on --rebase that could be helpful.
See TODO.md to see a stream-of-conciousness log of how this came about.
