The last couple of months I've found it easier to just open up the Hermes app on my phone and just tell it to clone a project and build my features into it and then build the app and push it to my phone. 99% of the time I don't bother upstreaming my changes. If it's a project I use regularly I typicallt send the creator $25-50 for all the work they put into the project and for making it open source.
I think this will become commonplace over the next decade, the ability to customize something to your own needs within minutes is immensely powerful once you learn that it's possible to do.
