So far I am using my RPI 3b+ for debugging my custom node. So after making any change to my code, I transfer the file to RPI and restart node-red.  
I am curious if somehow it is possible to update the edited node without restarting Node-red itself?

No - Node-RED must be restarted to load your changes.
