How to disable package update in Composer?

Question

Yii

I use composer to install the necessary modules and packages for YII2.
There was a need to change one of the packages and now so that my changes are not lost, I would like to disable its update, how can I do it right?
ZYZH I tried to comment out the line with this package in composer.json (but neither // nor # helps, the composer swears at this place)

Answer 1

so specify the specific version in composer.json. This will be enough. and if you wish, you can even specify a commit.

Answer 2

If you have a composer.lock file, then the composer first of all takes package versions from it (this file needs to be committed to the repository). Those. The next time you run composer install, the package versions specified in composer.lock will be installed.
