composer create-project - command donot work

I have my project on github containing composer.json in the root directory. This is how my composer.json code looks like:

{
    "name": "vendor/projectname",
    "description": "My first Composer project",
    "authors": [
        {
            "name": "John Deo",
            "email": "[email protected]"
        }
    ],
    "prefer-stable": true,
    "minimum-stability": "dev",
    "require": {
        "php": "~5.3"        
    }
}

I had defined/submited my package on packagist.org.

Now when I try to get the project in my localhost using composer create-project - commands one of its work and another do not work.

1. composer create-project -s dev vendor/projectname  >> WORKS

2. composer create-project vendor/projectname >> DO NOT WORK

Can someone please tell why the second command does not work. What am I missing or doing wrong? Please Help!

Solution

  • You're missing a stable version of vendor/projectname. In git, a tag (without flag) is a stable version and branches are dev versions. So you have to tag a release (e.g. git tag 1.0.0).
