For simple tweaks, you can work on any of the source files within Vector with the
setup above, and your changes will cause an instant rebuild.
However, all serious development on Vector happens on the `develop` branch. This typically
depends on the `develop` snapshot versions of `matrix-react-sdk` and `matrix-js-sdk`
too, which isn't expressed in Vector's `package.json`. To do this, check out
the `develop` branches of these libraries and then use `npm link` to tell Vector
about them:
1. Link the react sdk package into the example:
`npm link path/to/your/react/sdk`
2. Start the development rebuilder in your react SDK directory:
`npm start`
Similarly, you may need to `npm link path/to/your/js/sdk` in your `matrix-react-sdk`
directory.
If you add or remove any components from the Vector skin, you will need to rebuild
the skin's index by running, `npm run reskindex`.
