In reply to @ieltan "Sorry I'm on my": its hard to explain without
understanding the concept of remotes from confy or repositories from scons
but yeah, you are definitely not getting the idea. i believe you are getting
lost in the typenames

if I have a repo, and I modify 1 file, I should still be able to compile the
repo with my changes without forking
because the entire codebase already exists in a folder, I just need to compile
with that one file and that's it
and I should be able to have that file stored somewhere else, in a different
root folder name, but with the same folder structure internally
That's the just of it
