How to add non-public repositories from command line with composer?

I want to add a new package which is not at packagist, it's a local or non-public repository. I know how to this in the composer.json. For example:

"repositories": [
    {
        "type": "vcs",
        "url": "https://bitbucket.org/xxxx/xxxxx.git"
    }
],
"require": {
    "xxxx/xxxxx": "dev-master"
},

But I want to do this from the command line so that I can add this non-public repositories in a provision file. Packages registered at Packagist I can add with:

composer require ....

But how to handle this with repositories not registered at Packagist?

You can run the following from the project root to add a repository to the project's composer.json:

composer config repositories.repo-name vcs https://github.com/<orgname or username>/repo

Then you can require the specific repo with:

composer require <orgname or username>/repo:dev-branchname

The Composer documentation covers it at Modifying Repositories (CLI: composer config).
