Summit workflow - git migration

[Yaron Shahrabani]

Since Hebrew has mixed plural forms I can't use summit anyway so my work
routine is VSCode-Lokalize, this way I can fetch the templates and the
updates and see the list of files and changes like when I'm pushing the
files.
I wish I had more time for scripts and tricks but I'm just trying to do the
minimum possible effort to get the job done and I'm hoping that Lokalize is
good enough for keeping everything synced with my config.

So this change had minimal effect on my workflow, thanks.
