As is, fails for me with:

> gnome-shell-extension-gtile@1.0.0 clean
> git clean -qxf ':/dist/*.js' gtile.dist.tgz

fatal: not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /)
Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set).
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    Aborting...

And the changes suggested by superhansel work for me.

Nice to see this package back to being maintained.

There are a few things I noticed that could be improved:

  1. The build() function in the PKGBUILD builds the package twice (npm run build and then again npm run build:dist)
  2. The build() function calls npm install. A clean install (npm ci) would speed things up and would also adhere to the build process that gTile uses for its own published releases.
  3. The package() function removes a directory that is no longer shipped with the extension (${_uuid}/schemas)
