Tooling to synchronize boilerplate configurations and project scaffolding across webpack ecosystem projects. Current stable version is v6.3.0 (December 2019) with irregular release cadence (multiple minor releases per month). Key differentiators: it is the official webpack-contrib scaffolding tool, providing a single source of truth for CI, linting, testing, and npm scripts. Alternatives like create-react-app or vue-cli are more opinionated for specific frameworks. Requires webpack ^4.3.0 as peer dependency. Last release v6.3.0; development appears stalled since late 2019.

Upgrade Node.js to version 10.13.0 or higher.
Use webpack^4.3.0. For webpack 5, consider alternative scaffolding.
Consider using a different scaffolding tool or forking the repo.
Commit CI config changes manually; or disable auto-sync by removing the defaults script.
