Description

Hi,

I'm a developer of makercode extensions, I want to ask, is there any way to choose extension version(tag) or branch while I add extensions?

I had tried the method in Additional notes

You can use a non-master branch by going to Import URL and saying something like https://github.com/jrandomhacker/pxt-mypkg#mybranch. User note, this hasn’t been extensively tested yet.

Unfortunately, it's useless, is there another way to choose branch or tag?

Thank you very much.
