Composer not updating to vcs fork

I'm forking a composer third party repo on my github to use instead of the original repo following the instructions on [this page][1]

I committed my changes and also added the repositories key to my main application's composer.json

however when i run composer update I don't see my changes

here is the log

Reading composer.json of garyrutland/yii2-foursquare-sdk (dev-master) [9.3MB/3.15s] Importing branch dev-master (dev-dev-master) [9.3MB/3.15s] Reading composer.json of garyrutland/yii2-foursquare-sdk (master) [9.3MB/3.15s] Importing branch master (dev-master)

here is my main composer.json file

"minimum-stability": "stable",
"repositories": {
   "garyrutland/yii2-foursquare-sdk": {
       "type": "vcs",
       "url":  "https://github.com/karneaud/yii2-foursquare-sdk/"
   }
 },
"require": {
    ......
    "garyrutland/yii2-foursquare-sdk":"dev-master@dev",
    .....
},

here is my .lock file

{
            "name": "garyrutland/yii2-foursquare-sdk",
            "version": "dev-master",
            "source": {
                "type": "git",
                "url": "https://github.com/karneaud/yii2-foursquare-sdk.git",
                "reference": "f48de12dcf608079ac99b245deced7117ec92784"
            },
            "dist": {
                "type": "zip",
                "url": "https://api.github.com/repos/karneaud/yii2-foursquare-sdk/zipball/f48de12dcf608079ac99b245deced7117ec92784",
                "reference": "f48de12dcf608079ac99b245deced7117ec92784",
                "shasum": ""
            },

Rename the branch. dev-master still refers to master. There is some magic around dev, so I'd recommend to avoid it.

git checkout dev-master
git branch wip
git push --all -u

and change it in composer.json:

"require": {
    ......
    "garyrutland/yii2-foursquare-sdk":"wip@dev",
    .....
},

Or other way round, merge your commits from dev-master into master and keep working with master. It is much simpler.
