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.
