Having a generator tool helper. Which helps in extending Varbase profile using the sub profile method.
Step #1 Download
Download the Varbase Sub profile generator from
 https://bitbucket.org/Vardot/varbase-subprofile-generator​
 and get ready to generate profiles.
Example: Let consider that the  /var/www/html/products directory  was the default products workspace directory. 
Open a terminal window
Create the directory if it was not created yet
Change directory to the coding workspace directory
Clone the Varbase Subprofile generator
Change directory to the varbase-subprofile-generator directory
mkdir /var/www/html/products
cd /var/www/html/products
git clone [email protected]:Vardot/varbase-subprofile-generator.git
cd /var/www/html/products/varbase-subprofile-generator
Step #2 Select a Version
Set the version of the generator
Example: In case of wanting to generate a sub profile of Varbase 9.0.x run the following commands:
cd /var/www/html/products/varbase-subprofile-generator
git checkout 9.0.0
Step #3 Change Settings
Notice the settings.yml file which will set the default settings for Varbase Sub Profile Generator.
source:
  profile:
    git_repository: [email protected]:Vardot/varbase_subprofile_basic.git
    dev_branch:
      name: 9.0.x
      alias: 9.0.x-dev
      label: 9.0.x
  project:
    git_repository: [email protected]:Vardot/varbase-subprofile-basic-project.git
    dev_branch:
      name: 9.0.x
      alias: 9.0.x-dev
      label: 9.0.x
target:
  profile:
    dev_branch:
      name: 1.0.x
      alias: 1.0.x-dev
      label: 1.0.x
  project:
    dev_branch:
      name: 1.0.x
      alias: 1.0.x-dev
      label: 1.0.x
Change the dev_version to mach with the target dev_branch name and alias.
Example: The CV profile
Change target dev_branch for the profile and project to 3.0.x for the CV example profile
https://www.drupal.org/project/cv/releases/3.0.0
www.drupal.org
target:
  profile:
    dev_branch:
      name: 3.0.x
      alias: 3.0.x-dev
      label: 3.0.x
  project:
    dev_branch:
      name: 3.0.x
      alias: 3.0.x-dev
      label: 3.0.x
Step #4 Generate
Run the generate command.
Example: The CV profile
In a case of creating a Varbase sub profile named "cv". Run the following commands in the local terminal:
$ bash generate-varbase-subprofile.sh "cv" "/var/www/html/products" -vvv

The following directories will be created for the new sub profile.
$ cd /var/www/html/products
$ ls -l
​
products/
 - cv/
 - cv-project/
Step #5 Public Repositories
Saving the code in a repository is important. To let Composer build the project or manage the workflow of updates over code and config changes.
Push the generated profile and project template to https://github.com or https://gitlab.com for example.
Submit them to https://packagist.org to be able to create projects or manage projects using the composer.
Commit to a new project in https://drupal.org to list the profile in the projects catalog in Drupal.org
Example: The CV profile
CV at Github.com
​https://github.com/Vardot/cv​
​https://github.com/Vardot/cv-project​
CV at Packagist.org
​https://packagist.org/packages/vardot/cv​
​https://packagist.org/packages/vardot/cv-project​
CV at Drupal.org
​https://www.drupal.org/project/cv​
Step #6 Changing 
Have a development working directory to work on changing on generated sub profile.
Example: The CV profile
To install the development version of CV 3.0.x run this command:
composer create-project vardot/cv-project:3.0.x-dev PROJECT_DIR_NAME --stability dev --no-interaction
Commits changes over the code or configs to the cv and cv-project to the public repositories.
That will reflect on composer create-project, composer install or composer update. 
CV on Github.com
Make sure that changes are updated in github.com site.
​https://github.com/Vardot/cv​
​https://github.com/Vardot/cv-project​
Do more composer create-project after committing changes and a new install for the site. To make sure that changes are working on install.
CV on Packagist.org
Make sure that changes are updated in the packagest.org site too.
​https://packagist.org/packages/vardot/cv​
​https://packagist.org/packages/vardot/cv-project​
CV on Drupal.org
Make sure that the code is synced with the project in Drupal.org site.
