Is it automatically updated?

• No. As a different GIT repo, you have to pull the changes to your local machine and run the install.command in order to update this tooling package.

Do I need to restart Xcode or the machine?

• Nothing is needed in order to get the Xcode Templates working. But for snippets and shortcuts you need to restart the Xcode.
