I've customized and installed a few applications from GitHub, specifically Klassy, Darkly, and Glass. They've been updated frequently on GitHub, and I'm wondering how to update them safely without losing my custom configurations. What are the best ways to go about this?

You should definitely take regular backups before trying to update anything. It's always a good idea to test new versions in a virtual machine before applying them to your main setup. And remember to understand your commands well before executing them!
If the applications have package repositories, that's typically the easiest and safest route for updates. But if you're not inclined to use those or if they have outdated versions, you’ll need to manually pull the latest changes from GitHub, rebuild the apps, and then install them again, ensuring to override the older versions.
