Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/initialcommit-com/git-sim/issues/24

I want to play around with the source code a little bit, so I've cloned the repository locally.

What do I do in order to run my local version? I don't see anything in README.md about this.

Set up a virtual environment (e.g. pip -m venv .venv - this calls the module "venv" and creates a virtual environment in the directory .venv) and activate it (source .venv/bin/activate on Linux, see DOCS for other OSes).

Afterwards, you can run pip install -e . which will install everything in the current working directory into your virtual environment in editable mode (meaning you can work on your files and don't need to reinstall after every change).

In case someone comes across this issue, I can verify that the method suggested by @paketb0te works great. Thanks for the suggestion - I like this better than editing out the prefix from the import statements as suggested in CONTRIBUTING.md.

@ryanmcfall Yes thanks for testing the various options. You're absolutely right changing the imports was not sustainable - it was just my hacky workaround.

We now have a much better option in the updated CONTRIBUTING.md.

Let us know if that works for you - it worked great for me even outside of a Virtualenv.
