# Bytesize: nf-core modules patch

> nf-core/bytesize talk about the patching functionality to modify shared modules

In this talk, I showed how to use the `nf-core modules patch` command to tweak an nf-core module for your own use.
This command keeps track of code modifications, meaning that there is no need to copy / paste and lose the benefits of linting and updates.
