wrong github package name leads to UI freeze about packer.nvim HOT 2 CLOSED

Thanks for the report! I'm having trouble reproducing this - would you mind telling me the specific typo you made? For instance, testing with

use 'junegunn/vim-peekabool'

fails to install as expected, without freezing the UI.

I'm wondering if your typo accidentally stumbled upon a private repo name, which could make Git prompt for authentication?

Regardless, I should add some timeout/job stopping logic for installs (though probably not build stages; plugins requiring compilation sometimes take a while to finish).

I'm wondering if this is related to/the same as #26 - I'm still not able to reproduce either issue, but I've pushed a timeout feature in fd3a94f which should hopefully help. Could you please give it a try and let me know if it resolves the issue?

I still need to add documentation for the associated new config option (config.git.clone_timeout), but the default timeout is 60s (taken from plug.vim's default timeout value); you might want to set that to be shorter for testing.
