Custom post template/content-single

1

Is there a better way to create custom content templates for custom post types than duplicating single.php as single-type.php and duplicating templates/content-single.php as templates/content-single-type.php?

It seems redundant to make 2 different files for one new custom type. Is there a certain way to edit the get_template_part in single.php to recognize custom post types?

There is some discussion here that you can easily apply to thesingle.php template.

<?php get_template_part('templates/content-single',  get_post_type() != 'post' ? get_post_type() : get_post_format()); ?>
