As per the instructions on Juno developer documentation I have downloaded the development versions of the Atom packages and tested them by running the dev mode of atom. But how do I start atom with my own github fork of juno stack packages like julia-client so that I can create appropriate pull requests?

Go to e.g. `~/github/julia-client` (default location) switch to your own fork and check out the correct branch. Then you can restart Atom with `atom -d` and see your changes.

I also went through atom docs[https://flight-manual.atom.io/hacking-atom/sections/contributing-to-official-atom-packages/](https://flight-manual.atom.io/hacking-atom/sections/contributing-to-official-atom-packages/). Following those instructions this is what I did:

1. Forked atom-julia-client
2. Did an `apm install` there.
3. Created a symlink: `apm link -d`
4. Ran atom in dev mode using atom -d.
