+## Testing SDK Packages Locally
+
+To test local versions of SDK packages, for instance in test projects, you have a couple of options:
+
+* Use [`yarn link`](https://classic.yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/cli/link/) to symlink your package to the test project.
+* Use [`yalc` to install SDK packages](./docs/using-yalc.md) as if they were already published.
+* Run `build:tarball` in the repo and `yarn add ./path/to/tarball.tgz` in the project.
+
 ## Adding Tests
 
 **Any nontrivial fixes/features should include tests.** You'll find a `test` folder in each package.

+# Using `yalc` for Local SDK Testing
+
+[Yalc](https://github.com/wclr/yalc) is a simple local dependency repository which we can use to work with local versions of our SDKs.
+This is a good alternative to `npm|yarn link` for packages where linking is problematic (e.g. SvelteKit or Angular).
+
+Here's how to set up and use yalc:
+
+## Installing `yalc`
+
+Either install yalc globally,
+
+```sh
+npm install -g yalc
+
+yarn global add yalc
+```
+
+or add it to your desired test projects (same command without the `-g|global` flags)
+
+## Registering/Updating packages
+
+Whenever you want to make your local changes available to your test projects (e.g. after a local code change), run:
+
+```sh
+yarn yalc:publish
+```
+
+If you run this command in the root of the repo, this will publish all SDK packages to the local yalc repo. If you run it in a specific SDK package, it will just publish this package. You **don't need to** call `yalc update` in your test project. Already linked test projects will be update automatically.
+
+## Using yalc packages
+
+In your test project, run
+
+```sh
+yalc add @sentry/browser #or any other SDK package
+```
+
+to add the local SDK package to your project.
+
+**Important:** You need to `yalc add` the dependencies of the SDK package as well (e.g. core, utils, types, etc.).
+
+## Troubleshooting:
+
+### My changes are not applied to the test project
+
+Did you run `yarn build && yarn publish:yalc` after making your changes?
+
+### My test project uses Vite and I still don't see changes
+
+Vite pre-bundles and caches dependencies for dev builds. It [doesn't recognize changes in yalc packages though](https://github.com/wclr/yalc/issues/189) :( To make these changes show up anyway, run `vite dev --force`.
