How to work on a forked repository (package) locally in docker?

Question

So I forked a repository but how do I go about working on the repo locally? I cloned it into the project folder, but not sure what to do next. Google results are horrible. Keep showing me docker repos.

The package i want to make some changes to is this one https://github.com/arneb/django-messages

I am using docker and install all my third party apps via pipenv.

I tried cd into the project folder and using pipenv install -e. where the setup.py file is, but it doesn't work.

Make sure that on the docker image, git is installed (if incase not installed).

After you cloned the project. Simply go to that directory

$ cd django-messages/

and if simply do a ls -la , you should see all the files including the.git file as well. Then should be possible to work on the project
