Tracking: stabilization of "patch" feature

dsherret commented 3 months ago

// deno.json
{
  "patch": [
    "../some-package-or-workspace"
  ]
}

Questions:

[ ] Is "patch" an ok name? Isn't it confusing with the idea of "patching a package" where you modify a package in the vendor or node_modules directory? What better alternatives are there?
[ ] Can this work with git repositories? How does that work?
[ ] What about patching to a remote specifier?

To implement:

[ ] Patching npm packages.
[ ] Improving error messages to recommend using the patch feature (https://github.com/denoland/deno/issues/26704)

I think patch is a reasonable name.

Hi, I created a minimal example for the current patch feature. If you find any mistakes, please let me know.

does this do something similar to pnpm patch https://pnpm.io/cli/patch? because then patch is a great name.
