Making Composer provide untagged git file

[NotionCommotion]

I wish to use this version of ApiPlatformExtension which is the most current on the 3.0 branch. Note that there is no tag associated with it as v3.0.0 is several days older.

 

Now, on packagist, there are several versions available, and based on the 2022-09-20 08:49 UTC date associated with 3.0.x-dev, it appears that is the one I want.  It is my understanding that this branch only looks like a version, but isn't as indicated by the .x in the name.

How should I make my project use the specific file which I stated above I wish to use?  The project is not in production, so while maybe not ideal, I am okay with using an untagged version.  I've tried the following and multiple similar attempts, but only get the previous version of the file.

{
    "type": "project",
    "license": "proprietary",
    "minimum-stability": "stable",
    "prefer-stable": true,
    "require": {
        "php": ">=8.1",
        "api-platform/core": "3.0.x-dev",
        ...
    }
}

Sorry, thought I had included links to both the github and composer pages but evidently not.

• Github: https://github.com/api-platform/core/blob/3.0/src/Symfony/Bundle/DependencyInjection/ApiPlatformExtension.php
• Packagist: https://packagist.org/packages/api-platform/core#3.0.x-dev

You can tell composer to pull a specific commit by adding #hash after version.

"api-platform/core": "3.0.x-dev#14c7cba"

Normally just doing 3.0.x-dev would pull the latest version, but I think because both the main branch and 3.0 branch use this alias it causes an issue and for some reason composer prefers the main branch.
