Hi there,

first of all excuse me if this is a rather stupid question / issue…

I encountered a bug with how Bootstrap (v4 Alpha 5) handles the carousel items (**see [this PR](https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/pull/22392)**) and I would like to integrate the fixes instead of manually applying those.

My project is based upon Sage 8.5.1 in conjunction with Bedrock & Trellis.

**How do I go best about installing the latest Bootstrap?**  
I obvously cannot `bower install bootstrap[...]` in my theme folder since this isn’t an official release… So should I instead `git clone https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap.git` the project? How to go about removing the current version in my theme?

I’d be greatful if you could share some insights and/or experiences on how this can be done.

Or would you advise against such an upgrade? Why?

Thanks!
