How to include locally cloned version of open source angular component into an Angular project?

Question

I have an Angular 10 project that is using an open source Angular component that was installed using the normal "npm install --s xxxxxxx" route.

I want to clone the open source Angular component github project to my local PC to make some code improvements.

How do I make my Angular project point at the cloned local version of the open source component?

You can use the file: prefix in your package.json.

You can find more examples of how to use it here

{
    "name": "myProject",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "private": true,
    "dependencies": {
        "my-component-library": "file:../../component-library/components"
    }
