I use Git for just about any source code I work with. I even let Git
manage a SubVersion repository. I also often have my own "custom
changes" in 3rd party code. With Git I simply create a "custom-mods"
branch where I commit all my personal preferences. As the 3rd party code
moves forward, I can move my whole "custom-mods" branch forward to by
using the Git command "rebase". It's very little effort, and I have
dragged some of my custom-mods branches forward since around 2010 (in
various 3rd party code).
3) Make sure you always rebuild the unit depending on the program
you want to compile (Compile -> Build).
Is there a way to force this with the command line?
Yes. The -B compiler command line parameter.
