Assuming your clone is at `$HOME/devel/home-manager` then you can make
the `home-manager` command use it by either
1. overriding the default path by using the `-I` command line option:
home-manager -I home-manager=$HOME/devel/home-manager
or
2. changing the default path by ensuring your configuration includes
programs.home-manager.enable = true;
programs.home-manager.path = "$HOME/devel/home-manager";
and running `home-manager switch` to activate the change.
Afterwards, `home-manager build` and `home-manager switch` will
use your cloned repository.
The first option is good if you only temporarily want to use your
clone.
