I did that (I forked graph because I want to add), but you can clone as 
well.
All is there, doc, examples, test, ...
Here are files I changed or will add to doc, test, later example, ...

$ git status .
On branch develop
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/develop'.

I first installed boost_1_85_0 into my home.
Then I made it available:

$ ls -l /usr/include | grep boost
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root     10 Aug  1 16:07 boost -> boost_1.85
drwxr-xr-x 129 root root  12288 Mar  9 23:56 boost_1.74
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root     27 Aug  1 16:06 boost_1.85 -> 
/home/pi/boost_1_85_0/boost
$

Then I cloned my fork of graph into my home.
And made it work with 1_85_0:

$ ls -l /usr/include/boost/ | grep "graph "
lrwxrwxrwx  1 pi pi    35 Aug  7 17:11 graph -> 
/home/pi/graph/include/boost/graph/
$

I am new to Boost development.
So I am not sure whether this is the most elegant way to work with 
graph.
But it works well for me, and my fork allows me to develop as I want:
