How can I use a Quarto Extension that I created for myself?

I just created a Quarto extension for myself, and now I was trying to see if I can use it in my other project. When I tried to install it from github, it gave me error:

ERROR: TypeError: Invalid URL

And then I downloaded the zip file from the github, and tried to install it from the local zip file. Then the error changed to

ERROR: Invalid extension

My Quarto version is

quarto::quarto_version()
[1] ‘1.0.37’

And the Rstudio version is

RStudio 2022.11.0-daily+115 "Elsbeth Geranium" Daily (6e803f1628196c4d86f939dd971d7887620f2d19, 2022-08-17) for Windows
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) RStudio/2022.11.0-daily+115 Chrome/102.0.5005.167 Electron/19.0.10 Safari/537.36

What is the issue? I have created the _extension.yml file, the template.qmd file, and added all the resources in the _extensions folder. Am I missing anything?

I just solved it by making the github repo public. The issue was with the visibility of the extension on github.

Quarto expects the extension to be versioned and gets confused if it isn't. Try to add a tag to your repo, either via the GitHub release interface, or locally with

git tag v0.0.1
git push --tags

Note that the version should match the one given in _extension.yml. Also, using 0.0.0 as the version won't work.
