For a 1-parameter family of metrics, how do we compute the derivative of the intrinsic geometrical objects like curvature, Hessian, etc

Consider a family of metrics and functions $(g(t), u(t))$ on $M:= \mathbb{R}^3 \setminus B_1$ satisfying $$ g(0) = g_0, \quad g'(0) = \tilde g, \quad u(0) = u_0, \quad u'(0) = \tilde u$$ where $g_0$, $...
