You should make sure there's no overlap with this:

I think it's a great idea to have a bootstrap for how to get your
environment set up. It's been a long time since I did it. What I did is
to download a dmd release zipfile, then delete the dmd, druntime, and
phobos src, replacing it with cloned git repositories.
I also deleted all the binaries/libraries under bin/os directory, and
use symlinks to the built files from their appropriate source
directories. This way I can test changes without having to create a new
installation somewhere.
