Is your feature request related to a problem?

Currently you have to use the command patches-repatch to execute the patches, which then executes the normal Composer install routine.

But now you have the problem that you can not use options like --no-dev.

Describe your proposed solution(s)

The possibility to pass the command patches-repatch a new parameter "install-options" with a string in the following format: "--no-dev --no-interactions"

From this you can then store the options in the ArrayInput with the value true with an explode to " ".

Seems reasonable! It'll be a bit until I can work on this, but if you open a PR in the mean time, I'd be glad to review!

Hi @cweagans, with pleasure! PR is created.

I was looking if an issue for this problem already exists or not and am lucky to see a PR already. I hope this gets released soon.

Another way to think about this would be a --pre-install option. In my projects I usually use two custom composer scripts which look like this:

"scripts": {
  "deploy-staging": [
    "git pull -p",
    "@composer validate",
    "@composer install --optimize-autoloader"
  ],
  "deploy": [
    "git pull -p",
    "@composer validate",
    "@composer install --no-dev --optimize-autoloader"
  ]
}

With the --pre-install option this would be possible:

"scripts": {
  "pre-install-cmd": [
    "@composer patches-repatch --pre-install"
  ],
  "deploy-staging": [
    "git pull -p",
    "@composer validate",
    "@composer install --optimize-autoloader"
  ],
  "deploy": [
    "git pull -p",
    "@composer validate",
    "@composer install --no-dev --optimize-autoloader"
  ]
}

This way patches-repatch would do its job as part of the composer install pre-hooks without executing the composer install by itself. Currently this is not possible because that would lead to an endless loop.
