- Make a fork and then clone the repo locally on your computer
- Change the current directory to the Pkg repo you just cloned and start julia with `julia --project`.
- `import Pkg` will now load the files in the cloned repo instead of the Pkg stdlib.
- To test your changes, simply do `include("test/runtests.jl")`.
- To test your changes, simply do `Pkg.test()`.

If you need to build Julia from source with a Git checkout of Pkg, then instead use `make DEPS_GIT=Pkg` when building Julia. The `Pkg` repo is in `stdlib/Pkg`, and created initially with a detached `HEAD`. If you're doing this from a pre-existing Julia repository, you may need to `make clean` beforehand.
