  Hi,
  I don’t understand one think when i built a theme child.

  I created style.css and i can modify my CSS simply add new thing. Ex if i want to change body background color i should do:

  body {
  background-color:#1d1e1d;
  }

  But the other file (exception for function.php that i simple add a new function if i need) how can i customize without lose anything when father theme have an update?
  For example i copied in the child theme the file header.php from his father. If i modify the header.php of the child theme what happens if there are an upload from his father (the upload bring improvements and i want both those improvements and keep my modifications made in child theme)?

  Thanks
