Good point, how would I do this? Just copy-paste the original source and redeclare/overwrite the functions within my use case script? > Second, right after you forked the package (so that you have a copy on your > own space on GitHub) and before you modified anything ... were you able to > install and use the package from there successfully? >> >> library("devtools") >> devtools::install_github("grssnbchr/hexbin") >> library(hexbin) > I basically forked and cloned it, and then ran devtools::check() without modifying anything, and it threw an error when compiling the vignette. Also building fails this way. It seems to work fine when installed with devtools::install_github(). Weird, I know. Anyhow, the question with (modifying and) debugging a (forked) package in order to understand how it works still stands, maybe there's something in Hadley's book that I oversaw.
