See https://yazi-rs.github.io/docs/plugins/overview#debugging on how to enable logging or debug runtime errors.

Describe the bug

When adding plugin by running
ya pkg add yazi-rs/plugins:git
It reports:

  Upgrading package `git.yazi`

fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
`git` command failed: exit status: 128

btw I tried mv ~/.config/yazi ~/.config/yazi-backup, it only changes the last line into:

Failed to write package.toml: No such file or directory (os error 2)

Minimal reproducer

1. build latest nightly version from source
2. run ya pkg add yazi-rs/plugins:git

Anything else?

I tried install ya pkg add Rolv-Apneseth/starship and it worked. Highly suspect that the parsing of subdirectory is broken

Checklist

• I tried the latest nightly build, and the issue is still reproducible
• I updated the debug information (yazi --debug) input box to the nightly that I tried
• I can reproduce it after disabling all custom configs/plugins (mv ~/.config/yazi ~/.config/yazi-backup)
