Test Meteor packages from forked Git repo


I'm using Nitrous.io and cannot directly access package files on my dev server there (not sure if that's specific to them or all Meteor projects).

I'm also using Autoform. I needed to change something in a file in the Autoform package. Since I couldn't access it directly, I created a fork of Autoform and made the changes there.

But... I'm new and clueless as to how I can test this change on my dev server.


Solution

  • Create a packages directory in your meteor project and then "git clone" your fork into it. When you "meteor add" the package, meteor will find it in your packages directory.
