How do I get javascript changes to persist on refresh?

[Dave Netz]

I'm trying to debug a problem on a staging server that I'm unable to edit the source code on for a bug that is not appearing on the dev server which I do have access to the code of, but when I type in console.log into the javascript file in the Sources tab and save (Ctrl+S on Windows 7) then hit F5, it reloads the page without my changes; I think I had been able before to refresh with changes in the past but I'm not sure what the exact circumstances were, and I'm not sure how to make it happen now.

I know Chrome stores the changes locally somewhere, and I just want those changes to override a file reload until I revert them or tell Chrome somehow to fully refresh the file (which I'm also not sure how to do).

The DevTools does not persist remote changes after a reload. The only way it would work is working *locally* to setup Workspaces so edits in Sources and Elements would be saved back to the files. There is no way using the DevTools to redirect a file being loaded either, you will need to use a local proxy to redirect that remote file to your local one. Charles proxy [1] is one choice that is capable of doing this.
