========================

[](#composer-git-flow-plugin)

This plugin allows to use repositories using the Git Flow workflow (or any other branching model) with Composer.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

First you have to require the plugin.

```
$ composer require dynamics-unlimited/composer-git-flow-plugin
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

To define the repositories for which the plugin should change the used branch, it is necessary to require those with `dev-master` constraint.

```
{
  "repositories": [
    {
      "type": "vcs",
      "url": "[path-to-your-repository]"
    }
  ],
  "require": {
    "vendor/package": "dev-master"
  }
}
```

To select the branch your repositories should use, you have to call the composer command `git-flow-update` which makes sure only repositories with *dev-master* dependency constraints are updated. To specify the branch prefix use the option `stability` of the command.

```
$ composer git-flow-update --stability develop
```

If you want to checkout your repositories with the latest release branch you can simply set the stability to `release`. The plugin searches for any available branch with the stability prefix with a fallback to master branch if no other suitable branch was found.
