User inquires about the best practice for implementing minor feature changes to an existing connector, specifically regarding the source-jira connector and the necessity of copying the entire connector codebase.
Question
Hey everyone 
I just had a question regarding adding minor features to an existing connector - I simply added a new errorhandler to the source-jira connector but in order for this to be effective, must I copy the whole connector (158 files) to my company repo or is there a better way to do this for such small changes?

You can do a few things here:
- Make a pull request with you changes of the main repo, and I can take a look and tell you if we can merge it quickly. If it’s just error handling, should be easy.
- Build a custom connector image with airbyte-ci in your current worktree and publish and use this image in your airbyte OSS.
No need to copy the code over to another fork?
