DX - composer replaces - forking process is easier than we thought

So basically the crux is the line in the composer.json and a folder with a copy of the forked module. The foldername is the machine name of the module. Have a look at jq_ui.

Drop-in replacement for jquery_ui.

Steps to replace jquery_ui:

Step 1) composer require drupal/jq_ui

Step 2) drush en jq_ui -y;

Step 3) drush cr;

Step 4) Sip from a marguerita

How is this possible you might ask? composer replace and a repaired copy of the jquery_ui in the jquery_ui folder inside of jq_ui!

It's very easy, as described above.

I've also documented the process here:
