Composer

It’s crucial to keep your composer.lock file synchronized with your composer.json file. Here’s how:

• After any changes to composer.json: Ensure you update the composer.lock file.

• Update a specific package: Use the composer update command, which automatically updates the composer.lock file.

  composer update drupal/metatag
  

• Force update the composer.lock file: Use composer update --lock to regenerate the composer.lock file based on the dependencies defined in composer.json. This is useful if you suspect the lock file is out of sync.

  composer update --lock
