Apologies if this should be asked in #beginners... What is the current best-practice for depending on a git repo (a temporary fork of the real dependency)?

@nathan.probst the classic approach is check out the git repo and do lein install to get it locally

(Assuming lein)

To automate the fetching etc, nothing built into lein. Perhaps a plugin or 2 that can mostly accomplish it.

Then deps.edn / clojure.tools.deps was built with this ability as part of it as a full alternative if that’s suitable for you (I still use lein for things mostly myself)
