Bower: How to patch a package or apply overrides?
bower, javascript
Solution
I couldn't find anyway to do this with bower.
Like you suggested. Fork and hosting your own is an option. It is mentioned in What's a good method for monkey patching Bower packages in Angular?
Another method, Which I ended up going with since I was just making a small change was to create a patch file using `diff original_file modified_file > patch_file` and then patch that file using `patch -N file < patch_file`.
Then I just make sure that in the tool chain for setting up/ building the project that that patch call occurs after `bower install`
Problem
Which is the best way to override or apply patches on a package, that is added to my project by using bower? In my Sass folder I have a vendor_overrides folder, I'm ok with that, but how to handle javascripts? Fork the project and then install that with bower?
