Embedding packages

Let's say you want to edit a package that you download with the package manager. You can actually make it so you have a local copy of the package that overrides what's in your package cache.

Put this in your Unity project: https://gist.github.com/liortal53/111ee2a659b0d59c80faab0f5d457531
Right click on the package you want, and press Embed Package
You now have a copy of the package in your Packages dir
If you delete that package folder, Unity will automatically switch back to using the package manager version. All references to scripts will stay intact.

Number 2 wasn't clear to me at first. I tried right clicking on the folder in Packages list on the left and "Embed Package" was greyed out. I had to click on Packages on the left and that brought up all the folders in Packages on the right and then I was able to right click on the folder on the right and Embed Package was available.
