Composer/Packagist ignore branches

Question

So I have the following branches in my Github repo: (follows "git flow")

• master (latest stable: 1.1.0)
• develop (2.0.0)
• feature/feature_in_dev
• feature/other_feature_in_dev
• release/1.0.0
• release/1.1.0

I already know how to create branch aliases, such as for the releases. I could technically remove the composer.json file each time I add a new feature branch and then commit it back in once I am ready to merge it into develop, but that would be very annoying and easy to forget.

My Question: How can I hide the feature branches from Packagist?

Answer 1

A branch can be hidden from packagist if the branch doesn't contain a composer.json file in the root folder.
