How to Create a Meteor App From Branch

I'm using Meteorite and saw the repo readme mention :

mrt create my-app --branch devel

However, I'm getting an error when doing such. Meteor saying that --branch are not a recognize command.

More importantly, how can you create the app using specific branch? Or can I go into smart.lock and put Meteor's git with the branch that I want?

I know that I can use a specific release, but I would love to know how can I use a specific branch instead.

Solution

  • I have changed the meteor entry in my smart.json (not smart.lock) file to read:

    {
  "meteor": {
    "git": "https://github.com/meteor/meteor.git",
    "branch": "shark"
  },
  "packages": {
    ...
   }
}

    Instead of branch field, you can also use tag to point to a particular release.
