# Notes

You can pull in a local project (e.g. for testing changes) using either `vcs` or `path` repository types in Composer: 

## VCS

Put the path to the local project VCS (Git, Hg, SVN etc) in the `url` field.

See: `composer_vcs.json`

## Path

Put the relative path to the local project in the `url` field.

See: `composer_path.json`

## Branch

Prefix the branch name you want to use with `dev-`, so `my-branch` becomes `dev-my-branch`.
