Using vcs repo without composer.json #516

Open flowthentic opened 2 years ago

Hi, I have successfully installed wordpress, defined in composer.json as package - pointing to a zip with a specific version.

As far as I know it is not possible to reference a Git(Hub) vcs type repository, without composer.json file. It could be done by providing missing metadata in my json file, therefore when upgrading, I would not need to edit the repository information (as is case with the package type).

Is there any different issue that would arise? I see that composer can already convert git tag to a version number. Thanks
