Description

Hi, our project was successfully generated by XcodeGen, and it's really a great tool for us to collaborate without causing project conflicts!
And I'm curious, if we want to add a new target to project, except manually adding the target to yml file, is there a way to automatically check the difference and add it?

Research direction

The issue names the project yml specification and XcodeGen's generation workflow, but no source file or test. First determine how existing targets are represented and whether project differences can be detected, then define the expected automatic-add behavior and verify it against a generated Xcode project.
