Description
Expected Behavior
If the template improves it should be trivial to update a hutch's setup automatically rather than having to do it manually
Current Behavior
Usually I just create a brand new hutch-python directory for the hutch and copy over the files I care to update
Possible Solution
Create a script that creates a /tmp version of the python env and copies over the stuff you want to update
Maybe like hutch-python --update xppenv
Context
This is always a pain

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue. Start by locating the hutch-python command entry point and the template files used to create a hutch's environment. Define how an update identifies files to replace and preserves local changes; done means a documented update command can safely refresh an existing hutch.
