php - Version Git Repo for Composer Use - Git/Composer -

scenario

i have plugin in php i've written , want keep private repository. want set versioning in git. know there tags this, don't know how convention works composer.

current composer.json package/plugin:

{     "name": "test/upload",     "description": "useful functions image uploading.",     "minimum-stability": "dev",     "require": {         "php": ">=5.3.0"     } } 

current composer.json project include above package/plugin:

{     "name": "multistepform",     "require": {         "cakephp/cakephp": "2.6.*",         "cakephp/debug_kit": "2.2.*"     },     "config": {         "vendor-dir": "vendor/"     } } 

currently have no tags in package/plugin.

qs

1) composer require tags in repository in order use it?

2) how should 1 tag private repository use composer?

3) how include package in different project (using above context)?

just add @tigrang's comment , list out explicit steps:

• add git repo using "repositories" in composer.json

• tag package version number (i suggest using semantic versioning, keep changelog , git plugin git-semver)

  version=0.1.0 && git tag ${version} && git push origin ${version}

• add package under require

• you can use "dev-master" in require if don't want add version tags , want latest changes package when running composer update. requires setting:

  minimum-stability: dev

final composer.json:

{     "name": "multistepform",     "repositories": [         {             "type": "git",             "url": "https://github.com/test/upload.git"         }     ],     "require": {         "cakephp/cakephp": "2.6.*",         "cakephp/debug_kit": "2.2.*",         "test/upload": "0.1.*"     },     "config": {         "vendor-dir": "vendor/"     } }
