[TYPO3-english] Re: How to build TYPO3 from Github (or gerrit)

[Urs Braem]

I can create a base distribution with `composer create-project typo3/cms-base-distribution CmsBaseDistribution `.
That looks more familiar.
Do I still have to create the symlinks?

But my original question is how I get the mentioned "partial" stuff (from github or gerrit) built into such a base distribution. 

Maybe I should ask the other way round: if I want to test a patch from gerrit, how?
