drupal/core-recommended-dev-dependencies
========================================

[](#drupalcore-recommended-dev-dependencies)

This project is for use with a Composer-managed Drupal site. This project is only needed to run the Drupal test suite on the site. Most sites probably do not need to use this project.

Updating
--------

[](#updating)

This project is pinned to a specific version of `drupal/core`; it is therefore slightly more difficult to update if used in conjunction with `drupal/core-recommended-dependencies`. Both metapackages must be upgraded together:

```
$ composer update drupal/core-recommended-dependencies drupal/core-recommended-dev-dependencies --with-dependencies

```

If your project is not using `drupal/core-recommended-dependencies`, then this project can be upgraded directly:

```
$ composer update drupal/core-recommended-dev-dependencies --with-dependencies

```

References
----------

[](#references)

This project is derived from the original community project [webflo/drupal-core-require-dev](https://github.com/webflo/drupal-core-require-dev). It was generated from tools derived from [webflo/package-generator-drupal](https://github.com/webflo/package-generator-drupal)and [webflo/package-generator](https://github.com/webflo/package-generator).
