Keeping .yaml files up to date... (piefed.social)

For those of you that use docker, how do you make sure your docker-compose.yml (and possibly .env) files stay current with the project's ongoing updates? I'm sure there's an easier way than what I'm doing which is manually getting the latest ones and checking the diffs in vscodium. And I'm sure some git magic already takes care of this but I've been slow in learning git beyond the VERY basics. Thanks!

I use a watchtower fork as well to keep some containers updated but I'm curious how others keep on top of docker-compose.yml files that the project updates over time. As an example, I've been using a container for years and noticed today that on the github page they've added a section in the compose file for a health check. I never would've known that was added if I didn't stumble upon it due to another issue.
