The above checkout commands automatically switch the code to the newly created
branch (check the branch you are working on with ``git branch``).

Use your Branch in an Existing Project
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you want to test your code in an existing project that uses ``symfony/symfony``
or Symfony components, you can use the ``link`` utility provided in the Git repository
you cloned previously.
This tool scans the ``vendor/`` directory of your project, finds Symfony packages it
uses, and replaces them by symbolic links to the ones in the Git repository.

.. code-block:: terminal

$ php link /path/to/your/project

Before running the ``link`` command, be sure that the dependencies of the project you
want to debug are installed by running ``composer install`` inside it.
