[FIXED] Getting a "No such remote or remote group" error when trying to use a private repo in Composer

Issue

I'm getting an error when I try to run composer. I have the following in my composer.json:

{
    "require": {
        "my/private-repo": "dev-development"
    },
    "repositories": [
            {
            "type": "git",
            "url": "git@bitbucket.org:my/private-repo.git"
        }
    ],
}

In that private bitbucket repo, there's a composer.json with a name of "my/private-repo", and there's a branch called development.

When I try to run composer, I get this error: "Failed to update git@bitbucket.org:my/private-repo.git, package information from this repository may be outdated (fatal: No such remote or remote group: origin". I have no idea why it's mentioning origin at all; I've got that private repo in a totally separate folder on this composer, so it shouldn't be looking in there. I can git clone my/private-repo just fine, so it's not an SSH issue. Any ideas?

Solution

So it turns out this was just an issue with Composer caching. I ran rm -rf ~/.composer/cache/ and tried updating again, and everything works.
