Consume locally build software without overloading your $PATH

How do you consume locally build software? For a while now i have used the following approach:

  • Create a ~/bin folder
  • Add that ~/bin folder to my $PATH
  • Add symlinks from binary to ~/bin (ln -s ~/src/git-tfs/GitTfs.Vs2010/bin/debug/git-tfs.exe git-tfs)

Please let me know about your strategy..
