+You may have the need to test your changes in a real-world project or dependent
+module. Thankfully, Github provides a means to do this. Add a dependency to the
+`package.json` for such a project as follows:
+
+```json
+{
+ "devDependencies": {
+ "css-loader": "webpack-contrib/css-loader#{id}/head"
+ }
+}
+```
+
+Where `{id}` is the # ID of your Pull Request.
