Hi,
I'm currently checking my Synchronet (3.18b) installation and checking if my first customizations are done "the right way" so that in case of an update nothing gets corrupted.
Thus, I copied my custom shell files to mods/ (instead of exec/) :)
But I saw that in a new installation, when setting SYMLINK=1, the text/ directory also gets symlinked to the repo.
What's the correct way of changing files in the text/ directory?
I changed some files in there and also added some new ones for my custom menu/shell.
That's fine. When you performa 'git pull' it should leave your modified files alone unless they were modified upstream in which case you can 'git stash' your changes before the 'git pull' and then reapply your changes with 'git stash pop'.

Have you thought about possibly supporting mods/exec mods/text etc. That way people can keep their menus and js etc mods separate. That would allow for symlinking of text.
You can modify them in place in the text directory.[...]

As DM has said, mods is already the equivalent of mods/exec. And
for your text files, particularly the menus, what I'd do is just
create another subdirectory under your text/menus and put your
own menu screens in there for use with your own command shell..
I don't think it's necessary to have another mods directory for
that.
