How can I customized my own site

I use an VPS that build my discourse there , and used docker .

I was wonder : how can I edit the source code in my own computer ,and then push this change to the remote machine .

From my opinion :

  1. docker save ***
  2. scp xxx@xxxx // copy docker image to my own machine
  3. do some change
  4. push image to remote machine

I don’t know if there is an more efficient way to develop discourse?

Yes I know what you mean ,
but there are two respository 1. discourse_docker.git 2. discourse.git
discourse_docker doesn’t contain source code , and discourse is the source code .

If I use upper way , I’ll have to rebuild docker images each time when I edit source code .

Or … you could save yourself tonnes of pain and write a Theme Component or Plugin containing your changes …

If you absolutely have to run a fork of the source code (which is definitely not recommended, you can accomplish almost everything with a plugin), then you will need to:

Thank you guys!
