You can create a new project using the latest Phoenix source installer (the phx.new Mix task) with the following steps:
phx_new archives so that Mix will pick up the local source code. This can be done with mix archive.uninstall phx_new or by simply deleting the file, which is usually in ~/.mix/archives/.git clone https://github.com/phoenixframework/phoenix or by downloading itphx.new Mix task from within the installer directory, for example:cd phoenix/installer
mix phx.new dev_app --dev
The --dev flag will configure your new project's :phoenix dep as a relative path dependency, pointing to your local Phoenix checkout:
defp deps do
[{:phoenix, path: "../..", override: true},
