So I have this exact need:

There is an upstream project doing their own thing over git and I want to build container images locally and commit them to my image repository all while following the same version system as upstream.

To be more precise (perhaps abstract) about my need, what is the best way to apply the same patch when upstream release a new version.

Any input and best practices or lessons learned are welcome.

      I am over thinking this, but wouldn’t history be lost this way? Like If I wanted to revert to an earlier version.

          Currently I have a local repository with two remotes, one is mine, the other upstream. I just had to update today So I updated upstream, cherry-picked the last commit in new release branch and pushed to main (my origin).

          But I am too lazy to keep looking for which commit to cherry-pick.
