From documentation at [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/\_how\_to\_write\_a\_logstash\_output\_plugin.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/_how_to_write_a_logstash_output_plugin.html)

```
source 'https://rubygems.org'
gemspec
gem "logstash", :github => "elastic/logstash", :branch => "6.2"

```

But when doing `bundle install`:

> Fetching git://github.com/elastic/logstash.git  
> Fetching gem metadata from [https://rubygems.org/](https://rubygems.org/).........  
> Could not find gem 'logstash' in git://github.com/elastic/logstash.git (at  
> 6.2@60f9c7e).  
> The source does not contain any versions of 'logstash'

Is it a typo?
