I have a module (package) that has as a dependency a forked version of a registered module. How I can specify this dependency and how I can point to the forked version of the registered module on Github in the Project.toml file.

you do
```julia
] add https://github.com/.jl.git#
```
Or if you have your brach clone locally and in development you can do
```julia
] dev
```
Note that this will only persist though your Manifest.toml.
and it won’t be possible to load your package as a depenency of another package (unless you also add the branch you need to that one following the above).
And so you won’t be able to regiter a release of your package
(registered packages can only depend on other registered packages)

this is my issue; one of the packages I use in my registered package is registered but outdated; its version dependencies conflict with the version dependencies of other packages which were recently updated and i use; I did PR but no response
But i need to fix this conflict to register a new version.
