title: How to register a local git package in Bower?
body: <p>How can I register a local git package in bower?</p>
  
  <p>My current component.json is as follows</p>
  
  <pre><code>{
    "name": "myproject",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "dependencies": {
      "jquery": "1.8.0",
      "twitter/bootstrap": "2.1.1"
    }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However I also would like to add a package I have created at <code>C:/mypackage</code> which is a git repository with versions tagged.
  When I do <code>bower install --save C:/mypackage</code> it properly adds it to project but it doesn't add it to my component.json.</p>
  
  <p>I am trying <code>bower register mypackage C:/mypackage</code> but it keeps giving me </p>
  
  <pre><code>bower error Incorrect format
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What am I doing wrong?</p>
