Hi guys,

I am having trouble installing react-native-gifted-chat, I have tried Yarn and NPM on Windows machine. Seems to be the same as this issue.

Yarn Error:

Yup I'm still having the same issue

It's because you need GIT maybe?

[prospkarl]

Run the command on git. This works for me.

Sorry for hijacking this thread and for the mentions.

I understand the problem and the solution.

However I build my project through CI/CD, and my DevOps guy is really reluctant to add git to that environment to solve this problem. Especially being a project that is forked. His fears are that the repo may be deleted on the future, or open new doors to new poorly maintained projects through dependencies (which yarn pkg repo already ensures).

As a solution, I'm stuck on version 0.9.11 (last one before having EvanBacon version of react-native-parsed-text).

Do any of you have another workaround, solution or insights to this situation?
What were the real reasons that made from switching from the original react-native-parsed-text to the EvanBacon fork?
Will that fork ever be a package available through yarn?
