## Maintainer Tips and Tricks

Exercism tracks follow a specification that has evolved over time.
Maintainers often need to make ad-hoc migrations to files in this repository.
If you find yourself scripting such ad-hoc changes, include the source of your script using markdown codeblocks in a commit message.

See [this commit](https://github.com/exercism/rust/commit/45eb8cc113a733636212394dee946ceff5949cc3) for an example.
