There is a project on Yii. Installed several third-party extensions in the vendor folder.

The problem is that during the development process a single coder got into the vendor instead of overriding the classes and methods of the module. I understand that when you run the command: composer update all third-party code for the module will disappear from vendor.

The solution is obvious: rewrite in a normal way. But for the time being we will leave it as it is.

Actually, how to upgrade other packages without touching the affected ones?

    You can fix the current installed version of the package, then it will not be updated and the changes will not be lost.

    Example:

     { "name": "The app", "require":{ "monolog/monolog": "1.20.0.0", "phpoffice/phpexcel": "~1.8.0" } }

    Here, the monolog will not be updated if the current installed version is 1.20.0 (1.20.0.0 normalized version)

    phpoffice will be updated to version <1.9.0

    The currently installed version can be found in the file vendor/composer/installed.json
