Can't install forked extension #9759
Description
Describe the bug
I have forked an extension and made some improvements. While waiting for the PR to the upstream repo to be reviewed/merged I'd like to share my progress with my colleagues, however I'm unable to install the extension from my fork.
gh version 2.54.0 (2024-08-01)
https://github.com/cli/cli/releases/tag/v2.54.0
Steps to reproduce the behavior
I have tried following commands:
$ gh extensions install IvanRibakov/gh-workflow-stats
$ gh extensions install IvanRibakov/gh-workflow-stats --force
$ gh extensions install IvanRibakov/gh-workflow-stats --force --pin f2286ac
but all of them return the same cryptic error message:
extension is not installable: missing executable
Expected vs actual behavior
Expecting to be able to install an extension from a public fork of a public repo while being able to install the extension from the upstream without issues, instead getting a non-descriptive error.
