what’s a good workflow for developing existing julia packages?
specifically, I’m looking for a good detailed workflow for making changes to an existing package, loading the modified version, and testing the changes with other scripts, as smoothly as possible.
Thanks

The first steps I usually do are:

pkg.activate --temp"
pkg"dev PackageToModify"

Then fork the package om github, and add that as an additional remote for the package.
