Editing The Theme

Hi,
I would like to edit the generatepress parent theme files but retain the use of GPP and GPB (and the customizer potentially). Is this feasible? The main reason is that I prefer to use vscode with live server to edit and preview my sites - but love the Generatepress ecosystem - so dont wish to lose the benefits that it provides.
Hi there,
It's never a good idea to edit the parent theme as it will be erased during updates.
You would need to use a child theme:

Copy the file(s) you want to edit and paste in the child theme's folder and edit that one.
Let me know if this helps :)
