 * Hi, I need to know if this plugin will help me to keep changes that I make in
   the plugins, so when I update them I can keep the changes I made in the code 
   so I avoid having to redo changes every time I update the modified plugin?

 * No, it can’t edit the files contained in other plugins. It can, however, write
   new mini-plugins which can interact with many other plugins through the use of`
   add_action` and `add_filter` hooks.
