For testing your development, you should install your forked development version into your zynthian box. Something like this could do the job:
systemctl stop zynthian
cd /zynthian
mv zynthian-ui zynthian-ui.orig
git clone https://github.com/#your_github_account#/zynthian-ui.git
cd zynthian-ui
git checkout #your_development_branch#
/zynthian/zynthian-sys/sbin/zynthian.sh
For better debugging, i recommend to edit "/zynthian/zynthian-sys/sbin/zynthian.sh" and enable exception raising, like that:
ZYNTHIN_RAISE_EXCEPTIONS=1
For avoiding adding/commiting every time you change/fix something, i recommend copying the files directly to your zynthian box. This will avoid polluting the git history and simplify the development/test cycle. Once your changes are tested and your code stable, you can add/commit and sync your zynthian box from your development repo, like this:
cd /zynthian/zynthian-ui
git checkout .
git pull
This will overwrite your local changes and will take the latest changes from the repo.

If it's your first developiment for zynthian, you should get familiar with git and github. I recommend start "forking" in github the repository you want to work in (zynthian-ui) and creating a "branch" for your development. When you have a stable version of your work, you should make a "pull request" from your forked github repository.
