Composer.json --want=dev-main needed for install

Need Help
#1

I use recommended composer.json structure:

{
    "name": "acme/boilerplate-theme",
    "type": "october-theme",
    "description": "Enter a meaningful description here",
    "require": {
        "composer/installers": "~1.0"
    }
}

It worked well, but several weeks ago:

the only possibility to install via command line with --want=dev-main parameter.
I have private repository on GIT, main default branch

The same situation is for plugin and theme

#2

Found the problem (thanks to Vojta Svoboda)

It is necessary to have released version on github repository. I released ver.1 (v.1.0.0) and it works now.

#3

It works for plugins, but not for themes. Any Idea?

#4

It depends on the author. Contact the author to ask them to tag their git repos with a semantic version number.

#5

The problem is, that I am the author :wink:

Oh. I see. Check out the documentation for advice on tagging releases in git:
