Loading packages from source

This is for Developing Packages.
# Guide for windows

Open up atom. Navigate File > Settings. Click on the little open Atom button:


Once open navigate to the packages folder :


Atom will load all packages from this folder by default (mine was `c:\users\bas\.atom\packages`). Open a command prompt and create a new symlink named after your package in this directory, pointing to your Package source. E.g.

``` bash
mklink /j "typescript" "D:\REPOS\atom-typescript"
```


Finally restart Atom and it will show up in your packages. So you can open it from inside Atom as shown:

As one last tip `Ctrl+Shift+R` will reload your window + package. Good for when developing ;)

Start with the Windows guide in this issue and verify the Atom Settings path, packages folder, junction command, and reload shortcut against the documented workflow. Done means the guide clearly explains how to link a package from source and load it in Atom, with accurate steps and screenshots.
