How To Add Public Git Repo As A Composer Package

If you want to add your own git repo as a composer package you can use the code snippet below. The attributes you will need to replace with your own:

• name: you can name your package anything you want
• package type: documentation for the possible types; in our example the repo is a WordPress plugin
• source type: can be git or zip
• reference: read more about it

  "repositories": [
    {
      "type":"package",
      "package": {
        "name": "package-name",
        "version":"master",
        "type": "wordpress-plugin",
        "source": {
          "type": "git",
          "url": "https://github.com/package-name.git",
          "reference":"master"
        }
      }
    }
  ],
  "require": {
    "package-name": "dev-master"
  }
