The number of custom modifications I am making to popular existing plugins has been growing to the point where managing them has been difficult. I have kept a list of what insertions or edits I have made in what files at what lines, but this is a bit cumbersome.
The problem comes when I upgrade my plugins and it overwrites my changes which I need to re-apply.
Does anyone have an automated or at least, managed approach to this kind of code merging problem?
I feel like there is a GIT solution here, but I am not clear how it would be setup.
