Hi Russell, devtool and eSDK are different things. The purpose of PREMIRRORS is to set a mirror for all recipes. It's a way for organizations to control where their YP builds download sources from. It's not intended to be used for a single recipe. There is no need for that. You simply set SRC_URI in your recipe to your local git repo. That is what devtool does after downloading the sources from a remote repo. If you already have the remote repo cloned locally you can just point devtool to it.
You can do it manually by creating your recipe and setting SRC_URI like
this:
SRC_URI = "git:///local/path/${PN};protocol=file"
SRCREV = "${AUTOREV}"
S = "${WORKDIR}/git"
PREMIRRORS is only relevant for do_fetch not for do_unpack.
