Yes, @Veronica !!

I may not say it’s the best solution but it does the job for me.

  1. Point to a local edx-platform

Mount from the volumes/ directory

tutor dev bindmount lms /openedx/edx-platform tutor
dev runserver --volume=/openedx/edx-platform lms

  1. This creates a local directory of the edx platform in your local
    tutor > volumes > edx-paltform

  2. Inside the edx-platform there are all the files for the edx-platform. The file which is needed to be modified is then should be overridden and copied to the Tutor > env > built > opened > themes > your theme > LMS > templates. Here you need to paste the file you copied from edx-platform so that it can be overridden and then modified. Make sure that everyfile you modify, have exactly the same folder structure as in the edx-platform repo,

  3. you again have to built opened docker image
    tutor images build opened-dev

  4. Your changes can be reflected and can be seen.

PS: Every time you make some changes in the same file you don’t have to create the image( point 4 ), you just have saved the file and reload the page, But If you are overriding any new file to the theme you have to build the image.
