      create a composer.json file in an empty directory:

      {
      "repositories": [

      { "type": "vcs", "url": "git@github.com:moodle/moodle.git" }

      ],
      "require":

      { "moodle/moodle": "MOODLE_31_STABLE-dev" }

      }

      Run composer update, and see error messages.

      Now change moodle/moodle.git in composer.json to dunlop-lello/moodle.git and the version MOODLE_31_STABLE-dev to MOODLE_31_MDL-54834-dev and run composer update again. This time, moodle will be downloaded to vendor/moodle/moodle.

      An example of how this is useful is at https://github.com/dunlop-lello/moodle-composed - that mini project uses composer to download moodle and the kaltura plugin suite, then installs symlinks in the relevant module directories to activate the plugins. No more messing with the wierd way git implements submodules or forking upstream code just to add regular plugins.

    Description

      The current composer.json doesn't include a name attribute, so moodle can't be required via composer.

      For an example of how including via could be useful, see https://github.com/dunlop-lello/moodle-composed - Kaltura wasn't picked for any real reason, other than I'm working with it on an unrelated project, and it's a multi-plugin zip.
