1. git clone to a local directory (use your fork, so you can change and 
submit when you want to do a PR)
2. CD to that directory
3. `dub add-local .`

Now it will use the local directory as the equivalent of the latest tag 
instead of downloading from the repository.

You may have to `dub upgrade` your project that depends on it, or 
temporarily depend on a different version.
