Taking Maximum Advantage of Drupal Core's Composer Template
summary
Explains why to start projects with drupal/recommended-project (composer create-project drupal/recommended-project) and how it pins dependencies to the exact versions tested with a Drupal Core release, omits bundled Drush/Drupal Console, and uses a scaffolding plug-in that copies files from Core instead of fetching them. Shows practical composer commands—composer outdated --direct, composer depends and why-not—demonstrates applying patches with composer patches, adding private VCS repos with a GitHub token, and warns about local PHP version constraints.
