Step 5 : Download plugin via AIOS Resources and extract

Download the plugin you want on AIOS Resources  then extract the plugin on web/app/plugins See video here 

Step 6: Rename Plugin Name Customize

For easy to identify if the plugin was customize please rename the folder and plugin name just add customize, for example "Plugin Name: AIOS Communities(Customize)" See video here 

Step 7: Exclude the plugin folder on .gitignore

By default, Git ignores the plugin folder because we always pull the latest files via Composer. However, if you customize the plugin, you need to commit it to the repository for tracking. To exclude specific files or folders, go to the .gitignore file and add the folder you want to exclude as an example.

  !web/app/plugins/aios-communities/

Step 8: Once you are done editing the files,

add or stage your changes.

git add .

git commit -m '<commit_message>'
