In the packages.json is there a way to specify the commit SHA we wish to use of a dependency?

IIRC you could set the branch actually to a commit hash, at least that is the intention:

But I don't think I ever tested that, so let me know if it works :) In any case, maybe creating a tag for that hash is a safer approach.

That worked! Cheers.

Yeah - if it's ever really important I'll probably just fork and add the fork to packages.json but great to know this works!
