How can I find the 'base hook' to override a template file using a custom module?
'node' and 'user' are pretty straightforward, but others can be a little more elusive.
Example code...
MYMODULE.module:
/**
** Implements hook_theme().
**/
function MYMODULE_theme($existing, $type, $theme, $path) {
return [
'username' => [
'template' => 'username',
'base hook' => 'how do you get this?',
],
];
}

Look into the *.module file where the base hook is defined, in this case the User module. The base hook is the key of the template definition:
user.module:
/**
* Implements hook_theme().
*/
function user_theme() {
return [
...
'username' => [
'variables' => ['account' => NULL, 'attributes' => , 'link_options' => ],
],
];
}
Then in your *.module file
mymodule.module
/**
* Implements hook_theme().
*/
function mymodule_theme() {
return [
'username__mymodule_template' => [
'base hook' => 'username',
],
];
}
Start the name of your own hook with the base hook and double underscores.

Want to cross-reference this question: drupal.stackexchange.com/questions/200602/…. Note, for the above template file to apply you will need to alter/add a theme suggestion so this file is looked for. Examplehook_theme_suggestions_username_alter(array &$suggestions, array $variables)
