How to run a project based on an open source solution?

Question

git

Please tell me the solution to the problem that most people who base their solutions on open source face.
For example, we have a git repository for an opensource project. And I would like to start my own repository, where edits, improvements, code changes take place. At the same time, I would like to periodically receive new versions of the open source project.
I don’t want to clone the repository and constantly rebase my edits regarding the project, because. a lot of them can accumulate during the entire time of existence. What other solutions could there be?

git submodule add git://github.com/jquery/jquery.git web/vendors/jquery - create a directory in your project updated from an independent repository
