### Using your local FastAPI

If you create a Python file that imports and uses FastAPI, and run it with the Python from your local environment, it will use your cloned local FastAPI source code.

And if you update that local FastAPI source code when you run that Python file again, it will use the fresh version of FastAPI you just edited.

That way, you don't have to "install" your local version to be able to test every change.

        with:
          python-version: "3.10"
      - name: Install build dependencies
        run: pip install build
      - name: Build source distribution
        env:
          TIANGOLO_BUILD_PACKAGE: ${{ matrix.package }}
        run: python -m build --sdist
      - name: Decompress source distribution
        run: |
          cd dist
          tar xvf fastapi*.tar.gz
      - name: Install test dependencies
        run: |
