使用 fork 而不是原始存储库

Question

在许多情况下，我从一些存储库中创建了分支，以纠正错误或添加新功能作为贡献。在这种情况下，当我对主存储库后面的开发人员进行 PR 时，有时需要几天时间来进行合并并测试一切是否正常，并且大多数时候我需要在热的时候或在我现在的时候测试这些更改表演。

SpBowerBundle 就是这种情况，他们做了一个分叉并修复了一些东西。我已经完成了 PR，但我等不及开发人员执行他们的测试并进行合并。唯一的解决方案是将composer.json 指向我已经完成的分叉，但不这样做。

这是forked repository，这是我制作的the commit。另外这里是我的composer.json 内容：

如何将我的作曲家指向分叉的存储库？解决这个问题的最佳方法是什么？

更新

在@Cerad 建议后，我对composer.json 文件进行了此更改，但仍未从 fork 更新，我做错了什么？

"repositories": [
    {
        "type": "vcs",
        "url": "https://github.com/Spea/SpBowerBundle.git"
    }
],
"require": {
    ....
    "sp/bower-bundle": "dev-master",
},

Answer 1

将您的存储库添加到repositories，并且如果它具有原始composer.json，它应该使用它来代替。

{
    ....
    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "vcs",
            "url": "https://github.com/paquitodev/SpBowerBundle"
        }
    ],
    ....
}
