FAQ

### How does this work?

[](#how-does-this-work)

AmpersandHQ developed an excellent tool [ampersand-magento2-upgrade-patch-helper ](https://github.com/AmpersandHQ/ampersand-magento2-upgrade-patch-helper) to check the status of a current project. Part of this is that it also scans for override files in the theme. However, it does not report what overriding files actually means. For instance, is overriding an XML layout file good or bad? How many lines of overriding a JavaScript file classifies as a bad practice?

Todo
----

[](#todo)

- Support for multiple parent themes
- Make `contextLines` in DifferGenerator configurable
- Improve adviser
    - An XML layout file with dozens of line differences is ok
    - An XML override file is dangerous
    - An PHTML / JS / CSS file with dozens of line differences is dangerous
    - Markdown and text files can be the same
    - SVG files can be totally different
