How to build docker-ce from source on macOS

Question

Anyone knows if there's a guide to build from source and replace docker binary on Mac with it?

The readme doesn't say so I try some make target but got https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/3353

Edited What I was trying to do, to be exact, is to debug docker cli to see why the Auth doesn't work for a single developer in my former company, regardless all factor checked and verified to be correct.

To do this, checkout the repo of docker cli (it was confusing at first which part of docker live where). But the cli is at: [e-mail]:docker/cli.git

Build it( this build dist for all platform), assuming you have make already: make -f docker.Makefile binary cross

Then either use this binary(this is for Mac), for example: build/docker-darwin-amd64 pull mysql

Or backup and replace your original /usr/local/bin/docker with the binary above.
