How to use global composer.json when create project in Composer?

I have add the following config, and if I reqiure global package, all is Okey. Every packages will be installed from mirrors.aliyun.com

composer global config repo.packagist composer https://mirrors.aliyun.com/composer/

and content from ~/.composer/composer.json

{
    "require": {
        "laravel/installer": "^4.0",
        "laravel/valet": "^2.11"
    },
    "repositories": {
        "packagist": {
            "type": "composer",
            "url": "https://mirrors.aliyun.com/composer/"
        }
    }
}

But if I create project with composer like this, I found package downloading from https://repo.packagist.org/packages.json

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel sample.com -vvv

I need to download from mirror, but the config in global composer.json is ignored, anyone knows why is that?

Here is some related logs

UPDATE @ 19:55

I add --repository parameter, then the laravel/laravel template is downloaded from mirror repository

composer create-project laravel/laravel sample.com --prefer-dist --repository=https://mirrors.aliyun.com/composer/ -vvv

But after downloading laravel/laravel, still download from Packagist, here are some related logs

I just found the answer myself.

DO NOT USE the follow methods to set mirror, because they will modify ~/.composer/composer.json, and composer.json will not work when create project

composer global config repo.packagist composer https://mirrors.aliyun.com/composer/

RIGHT WAY - Manually put the following code to ~/.composer/config.json, and whether composer global require or composer create-project, they all will fetch files from mirror site, not packagist.org

{
    "config": {},
    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "composer",
            "url": "https://mirrors.aliyun.com/composer/"
        },
        {
            "packagist": false
        }
    ]
}

There is no need to add any repositories related configto ~/.composer/composer.json

{
    "require": {
        "laravel/installer": "^4.0",
        "laravel/valet": "^2.11"
    }
}
