Managing changes

speedwm's Makefile has a nice feature which allows you to compile one header into the binary while keeping the original unmodified.

If I want to make a change to, let's say bar.h in my personal build I just cp bar.h bar.rl.h, make changes to bar.rl.h and recompile. bar.h will be intact, but my changes from bar.rl.h will be applied in the compiled binary.

This feature is currently available for:

• bar.h
• options.h
• keybinds.h
• mouse.h
• status.h
