Romeo Valentin (Apr 25 2024 at 20:49):Looks like something like this might work...

I believe the instructions for PKG.jl will work for any standard library including repl.jl
Romeo Valentin (Apr 26 2024 at 05:50):I was indeed able to do using REPL, but since I'm already in the "upstream" REPL I'm not sure how to actually open the modified REPL.
Zentrik (Apr 26 2024 at 06:18):I would have assumed that Julia would be using your fork automatically but I don't have any experience here. I was just going off of https://discourse.julialang.org/t/changes-to-codebase-not-reflecting/35653
Gunnar Farnebäck (Apr 26 2024 at 08:44):If you start Julia with --project pointing to REPL and change the UUID in REPL/Project.toml it will at least precompile when you do using REPL and pkgdir(REPL) will point to the right place. Whether your REPL session is affected needs further investigation but seems somewhat doubtful.
