My own patches?

I'm switching over from pfsense, which has a "patches" package/page. In short, I can overlay any code on top of existing one.
I see OPNsense has opnsense-patch - but the examples only show git commits (from official tree, I presume)

Is there a way to set up my own series of patches?
I'm guessing I'd have to set up my own git repo clone of the core & use that? Or is there some other way?

Thanks!

When you look at man opnsense-patch, you will see that you can use arbitrary repositories. So, yes, you can clone the official repos, modify them and apply your own commits.
