the entire boost tree. You can use symbolic links to your fork, but I
prefer to use a bit of git magic instead. FYI, some libraries allow 'lightweight' development setup: clone only
library you want to contribute to and test it using Boost libraries
installed from (fairly recent) release package.
E. G. Such workflow is allowed for GIL and, AFAIU, Beast and perhaps others
too. Hopefully you'll be able to find details in respective CONTRIBUTING.md
files.
