You have to use poudriere-devel and the overlay feature. So let’s say that I have a private repos of ports in github. Adding /local/* to .git/info/exclude avoids the presence of /local causing merge conflicts. As previously stated, overlays have race conditions with Ports features, making them unusable if an overlaid port has a complex Makefile.
