从VCS储存库加载软件包不起作用

Question

I am trying to use a personal repository with modified code of someone elses repository on GitHub.

I did exactly what getcomposer.org said by adding repositories in composer.json .

Whenever I composer update though, I check the code and it's always the original one instead of mine.

This is my composer.json .

{
    [...]
    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "vcs",
            "url": "https://github.com/GiampaoloFalqui/php-phantomjs"
        },
        {
            "type": "vcs",
            "url": "https://github.com/GiampaoloFalqui/tesseract-ocr-for-php"
        }
    ],
    "require": {
        "laravel/framework": "4.2.*",
        "codesleeve/asset-pipeline": "dev-master",
        "jonnyw/php-phantomjs": "3.*",
        "thiagoalessio/tesseract_ocr": ">= 0.2.0"
    },
    [...]
}

Answer 1

Solved by branching the code in a branch that is not master and by adding dev- followed by the branch name in the composer.json (in my case bugfix ), like this:

"require": {
    "laravel/framework": "4.2.*",
    "codesleeve/asset-pipeline": "dev-master",
    "jonnyw/php-phantomjs": "dev-bugfix",
    "thiagoalessio/tesseract_ocr": "dev-bugfix"
},
