How GRUB 2 works?

GRUB 2 works like this:

/etc/default/grub contains customization; /etc/grub.d/ scripts contain GRUB menu information and operating system boot scripts. When the update-grub command is run, it READS the contents of the grub file and the grub.d scripts and creates the grub.cfg file.

That's all.

To change the grub.cfg file, you need to edit the grub file or the scripts under grub.d.
