If you need to patch an M2 extension that isn't available to be installed via Composer, and you're concerned about losing edits directly to files in app/code/<Vendor> directory, you can install and then patch the extension locally using these steps:

1. Copy the extension into an arbitrary folder location like app/code/packages/VendorName/ModuleName (this assumes this module has a composer.json file with the package name of vendorname/module-modulename)

2. Run this command to add your custom package location to the composer repositories list:

   composer config repositories.vendorname/module-modulename path app/packages/VendorName/ModuleName
   

3. Require the extension:
