@ -240,9 +240,16 @@ Example assuming you patched monolog to fix a bug in the `bugfix` branch:
When you run `php composer.phar update`, you should get your modified version
of `monolog/monolog` instead of the one from packagist.
It is possible to inline-alias a package constraint so that it matches a
constraint that it otherwise would not. For more information [see the
aliases article](articles/aliases.md).
Note that you should not rename the package unless you really intend to fork
it in the long term, and completely move away from the original package.
Composer will correctly pick your package over the original one since the
custom repository has priority over packagist. If you want to rename the
package, you should do so in the default (often master) branch and not in a
feature branch, since the package name is taken from the default branch.
If other dependencies rely on the package you forked, it is possible to
inline-alias it so that it matches a constraint that it otherwise would not.
For more information [see the aliases article](articles/aliases.md).
