This is a really neat idea! However, my first attempt at forking a package and republishing it (by following the instructions in the README.md) resulted in the following error when I tried to run my CJS project using the package I just forked:
/node_modules/@vallerance/globby/index.js:1
import fs from 'node:fs';
^^^^^^

cd package/
cp ../transpiled ./
This replaced the ESM style code with CJS style code. From there, I could simply increment the version and republish. This resolved the error I was getting from my project and it ran fine with the forked packages.
I'm not sure if this is a bug in this project somewhere, or if maybe the instructions weren't clear (or maybe missing a step).
