 ## Local package override
 
-Library developers are often in the situation where they work on a locally checked out dependency at the same time as on a consumer.
-It is possible to override the consumer's dependency version with the local one by supplying the CMake option `CPM_<dependency name>_SOURCE`.
-For example, to use the local version of `Dep` at the absolute path `/path/to/dep`, the consumer can be build with `cmake -H. -Bbuild -DCPM_Dep_SOURCE=/path/to/dep`.
