cargo install on latest stable fails. Looks like asyncgit 0.27 is not actually published.

Cause

The source for asyncgit 0.27.0 on crates.io differs from the source (also 0.27.0) in this repo. This lifetime fix : a91132d187b9d353ea1d2c0cb6790e44f7256eb0 is not present here on crates.io.

I think the problem is not caught by CI since it installs from a cloned repo instead of from the crates registry. I've had similar issues building gitui with cargo install gitui in the past. Maybe it's worth creating another job that does that method of installing instead of cargo install --path .

I can't live without Gitui. Thank you for a great project!

Any workaround available ?

[sorenrade]

Assuming you mean you just want a way to get it to install? I can't remember which version I got to install. Maybe try cargo install gitui@^0.26 and if that doesn't work, cargo install --locked gitui@^0.26. Or, clone the repo, cd inside, and cargo install --path . for the latest version.
