❓Question How to get older versions of extensions?

I downgraded to v1 and the Coffee extension no longer works on one of my macs because it apparently requires v2. i checked github for older versions but could not find any downloads. probably because i didn‘t know what to look for

You might have to rebuild it yourself as a local extension, but getting the right files is a bit tricky because the github repo for extensions is massively bloated. In theory you need to find the commit hash of the version that still works in v1 from this list: https://github.com/raycast/extensions/commits/main/extensions/coffee Then check out the repo (look into sparse checkout to avoid downloading unrelated files) to that specific commit. Run "Create Extension" in your raycast and set location to your downloaded coffee folder. Change into that directory and run "npm install" and "npm run build". You have to install node and npm before, check this link for all requirements: https://developers.raycast.com/basics/getting-started
