How to overwrite tasks?

[maxklenk]

I tried to overwrite a task by adding something like this to my local gulpfile.js:

// OVERWRITE: custom index task
var extend = require('extend'),
  gulpInject = require('gulp-inject'),
  minifyInline = require('gulp-minify-inline'),
  minifyHtml = require('gulp-minify-html'),
  preprocess = require('gulp-preprocess'),
  _ = require('underscore');

function customtIndex(gulp, config) {
  function injectIndex() {
   ...
  }

  gulp.task('index', tasks, injectIndex);
}

customtIndex(gulp, config);

Multiple problems result of doing so:

• Dependencies which are only specified in gulp-modular will be installed in node_modules/gulp-modular/node_modules and therefore can't be imported with require().
• I can pass the local config file, but it was not yet merged with the default config, so some keys are missing.

How to do it better?

Where exactly are the import of gulp-modular and the initial call of gulp-modular located?

They have been further up the file, my overwrite was located at the very end of the gulpfile.js.
