"""
Metadata generator for gga_auto_load

Creates a file that summarizes actions taken by the autoload script (e.g what was done in the dedicated galaxy instance)
This organism metadata file is located in the metadata directory of the organism directory (i.e /genus_species/metadata)
By default, will also create/update a general metadata file (located in the parent directory i.e where all the organisms
directories are located)

TODO: move inside autoload

Metadata format: .yml
