Usually you want to create and maintain a fork of rathena, where you can add your own changes and merge them from time to time with the changes from rathena.

Example: https://gist.github.com/yannvery/497ccbf26e4a71e8ad50

I'd suggest you to read about branching and merging in the git documentation (it's nicely illustrated). https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2
