Context

• Original project: https://github.com/KnpLabs/KnpGaufretteBundle

Composer

My composer.json file that tracks my fork with ly branch.

Note: branch must be prefixed bt dev-. In this case: dev-benIT-gaufrette-1.0:

{
  "name": "root/test-composer",
  "repositories": [
    {
      "type": "vcs",
      "url": "https://github.com/benIT/KnpGaufretteBundle.git"
    }
  ],
  "require": {
    "knplabs/knp-gaufrette-bundle": "dev-benIT-gaufrette-1.0"
  },
  "minimum-stability": "dev",
  "prefer-stable": true
}

The following directive :

"minimum-stability": "dev",
"prefer-stable": true

prevents this kind of error related to minimum stability:

  Problem 1
    - Installation request for knplabs/knp-gaufrette-bundle dev-benIT-gaufrette-1.0 -> satisfiable by knplabs/knp-gaufrette-bundle[dev-benIT-gaufrette-1.0].
    - knplabs/knp-gaufrette-bundle dev-benIT-gaufrette-1.0 requires knplabs/gaufrette ^1.0 -> satisfiable by knplabs/gaufrette[1.x-dev] but these conflict with your requirements or minimum-stability.
