How to compile and install from local directory?

[personnumber3377]

Hi!

I am new to golang and this is probably bit of a dumb question to ask, but how do I compile and install this from a local directory on my own machine? I know that to fetch it remotely to just run go install github.com/dvyukov/go-fuzz/go-fuzz@latest github.com/dvyukov/go-fuzz/go-fuzz-build@latest and it should work, but my point is how do I make changes locally to the code and then compile it again?

I want to make changes to the source code to support custom mutators. I have written the custom mutator in python and it basically just takes a string from the input string and then repeats it many times and then puts those repeats somewhere in the input. There has been talk about custom mutators apparently not being considered: #319 but I decided to try to implement it myself.

Thanks in advance!

go install ./go-fuzz ./go-fuzz-build

these are good questions to ask https://claude.ai/ :)

custom mutators

it's not hard to hack one into the code. the hard part, in my experience, is assessing whether it's worth the cpu cycles.
