yarn global add doesn't work

[jordwalke]

I think yarn just doesn't like this particular form of dependency specification:

[~/development]$ yarn global add git://github.com/reasonml/reason-cli.git                                                                                                                                                         *[master] 
yarn global v0.20.3
[1/4] Resolving packages...
error Couldn't find manifest in "git://github.com/reasonml/esy.git".

we might just need to write the git URL slightly differently.

@jordwalke I had no trouble using https as the protocol:

yarn global add https://github.com/reasonml/reason-cli.git
yarn global v0.20.3

That is excellent to hear. Did you have any trouble actually running them?

Hey, I've tried yarn global add git://github.com/reasonml/reason-cli.git#beta-v-1.13.6-bin-darwin and it works yarn version v0.24.6

@oriSomething Thanks for the datapoint.

I've also been able to use yarn global add https://github.com/reasonml/reason-cli/archive/3.0.1-bin-darwin.tar.gz
