Use PHP composer to clone git repo

Question

I\'m trying to use composer to automatically clone a git repository from github that isn\'t in packagist but it\'s not working and I can\'t figure out what am I doing wrong.

Answer 1

In my case, I use Symfony2.3.x and the minimum-stability parameter is by default "stable" (which is good). I wanted to import a repo not in packagist but had the same issue "Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.". It appeared that the composer.json in the repo I tried to import use a minimum-stability "dev".

So to resolve this issue, don't forget to verify the minimum-stability. I solved it by requiring a dev-master version instead of master as stated in this post.
