i’m working with the new parts editor, but i’m not shure how to copy a part from the git repositories (read only libs in /usr/shar/kicad/libraries) and save them in my own library. i can edit the part and changed the Footprint field to the other library. but then what. how do i select the right lib to save to?
It should be very simple. Use the context menu (right mouse button menu) on the left-side library tree. You can create a new library or add an existing one. Then you can create a new component in it or open another library, select an existing symbol and copy and paste it to a new library.

ah so the order is reversed from the old version where you would open a part, edit it, open another library and save it.
ok te recap: choose your part in some lib, copy it. click the name of another lib and paste. easy peasy
