Using modified branch of a Go package instead of installed package

I did a "go get" to install github.com/chsc/gogl. Apparently this seems to have put stuff in C:\Go\src\pkg\github.com\chsc\gogl. And when I import "github.com/chsc/gogl" I can use the package just fine.

But suppose I wanted to make some edits to the package. How do I manage and organize my projects and code? Where do I put my copy of gogl and how do I get all my projects to use my copy of gogl instead of the one installed under C:\Go\src\pkg\github.com\chsc\gogl?

1. create your github account
2. fork your own version of gogl
3. go get github.com/user782220/gogl (assume user782220 is your github account)

You could modify the code in C:\Go\src\pkg\github.com\chsc\gogl, and run "go install github.com/chsc/gogl".

Alternatively, if you are going to be making changes for the long term, your better bet is to fork that project on github, and use your fork instead (github.com/yourname/gogl).

You can have a copy of gogl from github.com in your project folder:

1. make the C:/my_go_project/local_github.com/chsc/gogl folder

2. copy all the contents
   from C:\Go\src\pkg\github.com\chsc\gogl
   to C:\my_go_project\local_github.com\chsc\gogl

3. include your library in your .go files like

> import "local_github.com/chsc/gogl"

Now you can edit your local copy as you wish.
