How to experiment with a fork?

[12AT7]

I am brand new to Rust; I know a lot of C++ and Python. This might be a FAQ somewhere, but I don't know where to look.

I want to try adding a method to RequestInit to set type: 'bytes' and attempt to get a BYOB reader. This looks pretty easy; I just have to copy the very similar mode() method from gen_RequestInit.rs. So to try this experiment, I forked wasm-bindgen and modified my Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
# wasm-bindgen = { version = "0.2.79", features = ["serde-serialize"] }
wasm-bindgen = { git = "https://github.com/JohnGalbraith/wasm-bindgen", vers
ion = "0.2.79", features = ["serde-serialize"] }

but now I am stuck on this error:

❯ cargo check
    Updating git repository `https://github.com/JohnGalbraith/wasm-bindgen`
error: failed to select a version for `wasm-bindgen-shared`.
    ... required by package `wasm-bindgen-macro-support v0.2.79`

What other steps do I need to use to link to my own fork?

I think you probably just need to drop the version annotation as the version number in git may differ from the version in your fork.
