I think it is outdated.\r\n\r\nIn short, I want to modify a `.ts` file in `tns-core-modules` and be able to test the modification in a v6 NativeScript app in another directory.\r\n\r\nA few issues with the current [DevelopmentWorkflow.md](https://github.com/NativeScript/NativeScript/blob/master/DevelopmentWorkflow.md):\r\n1.  The initial setup (`npm install`) does not npm link\r\n1.  [Running Another App](https://github.com/NativeScript/NativeScript/blob/master/DevelopmentWorkflow.md#running-another-app) indicates changes require TS rebuild (tsc), however it does not specify which package.json `script` target to run.  My hunch is it is `dev-tsc-all` but this script has a bug in it (pr below) AND after running, the `.js` files end up in `bin/dist/tns-core-modules/` without a `package.json` (so `npm link` will not work).  `compile-all` script does the same.\r\n1.  `dev-link-tns-core-modules-widgets` script references a `dist/package` dir that DNE.\r\n\r\nI'm happy to do the work to PR an update to the docs, however I need some clarity on the right way to do it 1st.\r\n\r\nHere is my workflow - what am I doing wrong?\r\n\r\n1.  Fork and clone\r\n1.  `git checkout -b my-feature/fix-branch`\r\n1.  `npm install`\r\n1.  `npm run compile-all` \r\n1.
