HOOK  An error occurred. If unresolvable, contact the package maintainer: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vencord-hook
Error: command failed to execute correctly

omg thank you so much! i've been STRUGGLING to get the vencord installer to run within a hook without throwing files in not so useful places ;w; this is defo a weight off my shoulders

Thanks d3adb5, just pushed.

The script uses a bashism (trapping ERR), so using /bin/sh fails when using a strictly POSIX compliant shell such as dash. This is easily fixed by switching the shebang to #!/bin/bash, which should be fine as bash is a dependency of this package. Below is a diff to fix it:

Works well on gnome 48

Burnout, just pushed an update to echo the branch and fallback to auto branch if first command fails, see if that works for you.

Hello where, i install the official app from extra repo but the hook returns this below message after firing them self

ERROR The 'branch' flag must be one of the following: [auto|stable|ptb|canary]
❌ Failed!

What can i do to fix this issue?
