[tor-relays] What is the different between Tor browser and Tor source code

[dawuud]

maybe you don't need to change the source code to get
tor to do what you want because the control port can be used
to tell tor how to build circuits, number of hops etc.
you can learn about this in the control port specification,
in the specifications git repo.

also, instead of copying files around as Georg suggests you can
change the tor browser settings to use whatever socks and control port.
