Custom fork issues

[patrick-billingsley]

I am trying to get set up using a fork of Flutter in my own repo. I am having a similar issue to this. I am uncertain which approach is appropriate for my use case and am having little luck.

Ultimately, I need to setup a fork of Flutter with a patch fix that my project can use. This is a company project so the forked version needs to be accessible from any other dev's machine by running fvm use.

I created a fork of the Flutter repo per their instructions. Since this is currently pointing to the latest flutter I created a new branch and associated tag for my target version 3.35.6 that is pulled from that flutter tag. I then created a new branch and tag for my patch fix 3.35.6-patch.

I created a fork using the first approach: fvm fork add my-fork
I installed it with: fvm install my-fork/3.35.6-patch
I list my versions: fvm list
Flutter Version is listed as "0.0.0-unknown"

I also tried using the second approach but if I understand correctly this will only work locally. I happily welcome any guidance.

I am still hacking away at this. I think I've tried this about dozen different ways, but I cannot get FVM to recognize the Flutter version from my remote fork.

I have tried forking Flutter in GitHub, and I tried creating a different repo where I cloned Flutter locally and pushed it to a remote repo to make sure that it was not performing a shallow copy. I have ensured that the appropriate tag is generated in both repo attempts. All with no luck.

Can anyone provide some assistance?

workaround:
use my-fork/3.35.7
rather than my-fork/3.35.6-patch
