Individual script modification and updates

This feels like a stupid question, but there's plenty of techniques out there that more expert coders use that I don't know about. How do you preserve minor or major changes you may have made to a script made by someone else while still being able to update any new changes they have? Besides the obvious way of saving your changes somewhere and reinserting them.

  • I'd be happy for someone to correct me if I'm wrong, but I feel as though you're pretty much right with your last statement. Generally a project becomes forked and when the source is updated, you integrate the new changes into your now separate fork.

    • I was working on trying to figure out how to do a fork and add my changes to your fed awareness code, and there you go adding another option that I end up liking more than mine or the previous ones. So never mind. :)

      I did end up doubling the dot size for more visibility, but I think it works better than the rest because it's marking where the actual federation input came from, the user name.
