The easiest way to manage code in this scenario is to use Git or a similar source code management tool .. what it does is create multiple versions (revisions) of your code, and make it easy to compare revisions and revert any unwanted changes -- whenever you make a change, either manually or using AppGini, you just create a new revision ... When you make manual changes to the generated files and create a new revision in Git, then you make a modification in AppGini and regenerate, Git makes it very easy to compare (diff) the changes and let you merge your edited code into the generated one.

Another free and very handy tool for file/folder comparison is Winmerge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/winmerge or http://winmerge.org

A simple GUI and comprehensive file comparison tool laid out in text editor format, side by side. Syntax highlighting and line numbering too. Excellent for determining precise differences in files and what you may have left out.

Don't worry about the ordinary looking website or the fact it hasn't been updated since 2013 - it still works extremely well.
