The PKGBUILD is missing git in makedepends. Building in a clean chroot (e.g. via aur build --chroot / aurto) fails with:

==> ERROR: Cannot find the git package needed to handle git sources.

Per the Arch VCS packaging guidelines, any package using a VCS source must declare the corresponding VCS client in makedepends. It happens to work in environments where git is already installed on the host (e.g. plain makepkg or helpers that build outside a chroot), which is likely why this has gone unnoticed.

Suggested fix:

makedepends=('git' ...)

Thanks for maintaining the package!
