Local override manifest.json?

Hi,
in our team all members use manifest.json in the "Packages" folder. This contains Github links to our private packages for a project.
However, I don't want to use the Github version of the packages, but the one I have locally, since I work on the packages in parallel. So I am looking for a way to override the github links to local directories without entering the local paths in my manifest.json. Because otherwise I always have to be careful when committing to git not to commit the manifest.json as well. I imagine something like a local.json, whose content is always executed after the manifest.json. This local.json could then be ignored by git using gitignore. I think I've seen something similar with npm. For my personal programs I use such a configuration system for a long time and it is very practical.

Thank you in advance

 

Thank you for your post There's nothing in place to allow what you want to do here but the team will raise this in future discussions to see what we can do going forward.

 

Awesome suggestion. I'm in the same situation and looking for solutions.
