It sounds like you have a installation managed through git. I'd recommend implementing your color change by editing the Less files from the Vector skin (be sure to modified files to git and make a commit in a branch of your own).
Then upgrading should be as easy as (while in your non-master branch) "git pull --rebase origin master". In most cases git will be able to re-apply the patch for you. And in case it's not, it'll put <<< and >>> markings in the relevant file(s) for you to resolve and then 'git add' the resolved files and continue the rebase. — Krinkle On 22 Nov 2014, at 03:51, Adam Nielsen <a.niel...@shikadi.net> wrote: > Hi all, > > I'd like to change some colours in the Vector skin, but if I do this > in CSS I will have to put hundreds of lines of code into > MediaWiki:Vector.css.
