how to add flutter plugin via git to another flutter project?

Question

I want to add one flutter plugin in github as dependency to another flutter project.

i have followed the code https://flutter.dev/docs/development/packages-and-plugins/using-packages#dependencies-on-unpublished-packages and added a ref tag as mentioned here https://dart.dev/tools/pub/dependencies#git-packages

dependencies:
  mypluginname:
    git:
      url: http://mywebsite/myproject.git
      ref: master

i expect to fetch the latest commit of this branch(master), but it fetches first commit.

Answer 1

Specifying the concrete commit like below helped me:

dependencies:
  mypluginname:
    git:
      url: http://mywebsite/myproject.git
      ref: fad1b1dece2980dab850fc5128ae3c139963c0be

To complete Tomas' answer. Use path field to point to a specific directory. Example:

dependencies:
  menubar:
    git:
      url: https://github.com/google/flutter-desktop-embedding.git
      path: plugins/menubar
      ref: master

Run this flutter pub get to install it.
