The op is trying to say, they wrote the code using github.com/robaho/fixed but then they decide they want to use a fork of fixed (maybe it is being maintained better, performance enhancements, etc) but they don’t want to change all of their code.
Can they use a replace directive to point at the fork? I’m uncertain - because the package references in the fork would all need to change ? (unless it used relative references which are discouraged).
