If you push `my-tag` to a fork in your github account `my_name`,
you can then put `my_name/lean4:my-tag` in your `lean-toolchain` file in a project using `lake`.
(You must use a tag name that does not start with a numeral, or contain `_`).
### `ccache`
Lean's build process uses [`ccache`](https://ccache.dev/) if it is
installed to speed up recompilation of the generated C code. Without
`ccache`, you'll likely spend more time than necessary waiting on
rebuilds - it's a good idea to make sure it's installed.
