Steps to reproduce

In order to reproduce, you must first clean your yarn cache, otherwise, the dependency will resolve locally

git clean -xfd # Deletes installation
npm cache clean
npm cache clean --force
yarn cache clean
yarn cache clean --mirror

The actual problem is that GitHub deprecated git:// as of March 2022. Read more about it here https://blog.readthedocs.com/github-git-protocol-deprecation

Reproduce just that part using

ls-remote --tags --heads git://github.com/nicoespeon/mdx-deck.git

Workaround

You can workaround without this patch using the git config command below

git config --global url."https://".insteadOf git://

However, figuring that out and finding the article used 30 minutes of my time, so I hope this PR will save other people.

This PR is part of a larger set of changes that are needed in order to build the project reliably. See aicioara-forks#1 for a heads-up. I want to clean up that PR and open it up for review in smaller pieces

[crutchcorn]

Good first PR. A well articulated explanation for the changes - good work all around!

[aicioara]

Thank you @crutchcorn . Is it expected that continuous-integration/travis-ci takes 3+ hours to complete?

[crutchcorn]

@nicoespeon sorry to bother - could you take a look at what's going on with GH actions here?

[crutchcorn]

I think the repo settings are configured wrong.

[nicoespeon]

Sure thing! I'm quite busy but I'll def. have a look today. Shouldn't be too hard (famous last words) 😉

[nicoespeon]

@crutchcorn that was a trivial fix indeed. Travis evolved over time and the name of the action changed somehow. I fixed the requirements and we are all good now!

@aicioara thank you very much! I'm not really maintaining this anymore, but I'll be supportive to help you ramp up as a maintainer if you want to 😉 I just have a talk to give this week, so quite busy these days… but I'll get back to your comment in the other issue. Thanks for your contributions in any case, they are welcome!
