Use forked repo on github via composer as dependency

Question

I have a project that uses socalnick/scn-social-auth-doctrine-orm. This module further depends upon:

1. socialnick/scn-social-au

Answer 1

You should override that dependencies in your composer.json.

{
    "require": {
        "socalnick/scn-social-auth-doctrine-orm": "*",
        "socialnick/scn-social-auth": "*",
        "hybridauth/hybridauth": "*"
    },
    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "git",
            "url": "https://github.com/USER/scn-social-auth.git"
        },
        {
            "type": "git",
            "url": "https://github.com/USER/hybridauth.git"
        }
    ]
}

In your fork you could add a tag that matches the requirements of the main package, or use a branch with a version number alias:

"socialnick/scn-social-auth": "dev-mybranch as 2.1.0",
