Suggestion: neil dep local <lib> <path>

[rads]

Description:
During local dev we use :local/root in the deps.edn file for libs we want to override.

Problem:
Editing deps.edn manually when checking out a branch is tedious. Having a command for this in neil would enable automation (such as keybindings) to make this smoother.

Example:

$ cat deps.edn
{:deps {io.github.rads/deps-info {:git/url "https://github.com/rads/deps-info"
                                  :git/tag "v0.1.2"
                                  :git/sha "440af72"}}}

$ neil dep local deps-info ../deps-info
$ cat deps.edn
{:deps {io.github.rads/deps-info {:local/root "../deps-info"}
                                 #_{:git/url "https://github.com/rads/deps-info"
                                    :git/tag "v0.1.2"
                                    :git/sha "440af72"}}}

Questions:

• Should it support toggling on/off or just set it once and let the user manage the undo part?

I think maybe we could do it like:

neil dep add <lib> --local

since we also have:

neil dep add <lib> --sha ...

The toggling idea is quite neat.

Or rather: neil dep add lib --local/root path
