How do you handle forking and creating prs for plugins?

[IndianBoy42]

I don't know how often other people do this but I often make little changes/fixes to the plugins I am using and use gh pr create to automatically fork the repo, push changes and submit a PR. The only problem is lazy.nvim seems to get a little confused by this, because the upstream remote URL changes and we might not be in the master/main branch anymore.

Is there some seamless way to work with forks and prs in this way? What do you guys do?

I'm using lazy's dev option for that. I just checkout the repo/pr in my ~/projects and then set dev=true in my config for that plugin.

hmm, i see, I guess I should break my habit of going into .local/share/ and changing it in place, its just so easy
