digitalmars.D.learn - Dub use local fork

I want to use a fork of one of my dub dependencies so I can make

     Path-based dependencies
     Package descriptions in the dub.json/dub.sdl can specify a 
path instead of a version; this can be used with Git submodules 
or subtrees, or with a known directory layout, to use arbitrarily 
defined versions of a dependency. Note that this should only be 
used for non-public packages.
     Path-based selections
     You can specify arbitrary versions, branches, and paths in 
the dub.selections.json file, even if they contradict the 
dependency specification of the packages involved (note that DUB 
will output a warning in that case).

but doesn't give any examples.

my dub.selections.json is currently:

{
	"fileVersion": 1,
	"versions": {
		"derelict-cl": "2.0.0",
		"derelict-cuda": "2.0.1",
		"derelict-util": "2.1.0",
		"taggedalgebraic": "0.10.7"
	}
}

I want derelict-cl to use
C:\Users\me\Documents\GitHub\DerelictCL

How do I do that?

Thanks
Nic

Alternatively you can alter the package that dub already knows about.
Does the trick more easily ;)

That's the dirty trick I'm using too

You can also do the same for Phobos+druntime when it comes to templated 
symbols. Of course it won't redownload if you delete the file, so gotta 
be a bit more careful. But a wonderful way to confirm that your fix 
actually fixes it before a PR.

Heh, I'm used to swapping out Phobos/Druntime from fiddling with 
the compiler.
But in this case I'm adding functionality so I want to make sure 
that it a) compiles (I forgot a semicolon and one symbol) and b) 
works the way I think it does. That's a little trickier when 
things are spread over more than one repo and dub is involved. 
Hopefully I should have dcompute kernels running on OpenCL 2.x 
very soon.
