I have Discourse running locally based off of this. No problems, worked fine. [Install Discourse on macOS for development](https://meta.discourse.org/t/beginners-guide-to-install-discourse-on-macos-for-development/15772)  
I am getting ready to deploy Discourse to a production environment using Docker via Digital Ocean (Recommended in many places)  
My question is if I deploy Discourse via [GitHub - discourse/discourse\_docker: A Docker image for Discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse_docker) as recommended how do I make changes to my local installation and get them deployed to production?

The question itself implies something bad is happening.

Customizations should be done through plugins and Admin, Customize, _not_ by modifying core Discourse code.
