## Hacking on a local copy of a package
If your project depends on a package in which you have found a problem,
or you would like to experiment with changes to it, you can force Dub to
use a local copy of the package by following these steps:
1. Fork the git repository
2. Check out a local clone at `/path/to/the_package`
3. Let Dub know about it:
`dub add-local /path/to/the_package`
4. Make Dub ignore any configured release tag, so you'll see the effect
of current changes:
`dub add-override the_package * /path/to/the_package`
Now you can go ahead and play. Once your PR has been merged and
released, or you want to revert to upstream, undo your changes by
5. `dub remove-local /path/to/the_package`
6. `dub remove-override the_package *`
If have a branch checked out whose latest version tag matches the
version selected by your main project, you can skip the `add-override`
step, as dub will prefer a repository added with `add-local` over cached
ones from the registry.
Also, using `add-path` on the parent directory allows you to clone and
delete repositories at will, without having to use `add-local` and
`remove-local` each time individually.
