Use the gresource command to list and extract resources from an ELF file or a .gresource bundle:
gresource extract libgnome-shell.so /org/gnome/shell/ui/main.js > ~/GNOME_Shell/ui/main.js
The compiler, glib-compile-resources, requires an XML-formatted list of the resources to be compiled, and its output cannot be easily reattached to an existing .so ELF file.
An easier method is to remap some resources to be loaded from the filesystem using "overlays", by setting this environment variable (from ~/.xprofile or ~/.pam_environment):
G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS="/org/gnome/shell=$HOME/GNOME_Shell"
Now, instead of the /org/gnome/shell/ui/main.js resource from libgnome-shell.so, GNOME Shell will automatically use the file ~/GNOME_Shell/ui/main.js with your edits in it.
