I am trying to get back into fixing the border colormap stuff¹ that I got half way through last year². I am wondering - still being new to this - how to efficiently do development of xmonad. What I did previous was to rebuild Debian packages with my changes, installing them, and then "xmonad --recompile" and restarting xmonad. That is quite cumbersome, as Debian has dependencies between the X11 code, X11 xft and xmonad, so there is a lot of rebuilding just to realize that I made a(nother) mistake. How do you run xmonad from a cloned git repository and do a change-compile-run cycle efficiently? Is there a way to point "xmonad --recompile" at my local repository, or?
