How to Modify and Hotfix Existing Flutter Libraries
In this comprehensive Flutter tutorial, I’ll show you how to modify existing Flutter pub packages and use custom versions by pulling them directly from a Git repository. Instead of relying on the official published versions, you can easily specify a Git URL in your pubspec.yaml file to integrate a custom version of any Flutter package into your project. This approach is perfect for developers who need to make changes to libraries or want to test an unpublished version of a package.
