The sync command

You can use slate sync to synchronize your slates. There's no default configuration for this command, you'll have to create the file ~/.config/slate/config.toml and add your sync command, for example:

sync = "git add . && git commit -m 'Update slates'; git pull --rebase origin master && git push origin master"

This would stage & commit every updates in ~/.config/slate/, update your local copy and push your updates to the origin remote.
