How to update the RuneUI via git

[ACX]

When I did the steps to update through the /dev page the git pull didn't go through because I have modified some runeuadio files (runeui.js among others). To force the update I first backed up the modified local files to another location and then used these git commands to force the update http://stackoverflow.com/a/8888015 . After that I had to manually redo the modifications I had previously. I also had to do the wifi setup in Rune UI again.

Is there some simpler way to to update from git when there are a few modified local files?

Thanks for feedback, later on I may try that fork suggestion. I after posting noticed that any files that did not have a matching filename in the latest github source are left as is by the fetch and reset commands. That means a method to update and then reapply modifications could be:
1 go to /dev page and try git pull button
2 a notification lists modified local files that prevent the pull
3 bbackup each of those files with some prefix (e.g. "MODIFIEDruneui.js").
4 do the fetch and reset, following stackoverflow link instruction
5 use some text comparison tool to simplify reapplication of modifications from MODIFIEDsomething files to updated something.

install / uninstall directly in RuneUI, no need for ssh terminal
always reload list from source
show messages during install
installed indication
update indication
modular template for easy to add addon scripts from other source. Also try using guide. It might help to speedup this process of installation/ update.
