Summary of Changes
Hello @chrstnb, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!
This pull request streamlines the extension installation process by removing support for a specific shorthand notation for Git repositories. This change aims to improve forward compatibility and clarify the expected input format for extension sources, ensuring a more consistent and predictable user experience.
Highlights
- Deprecation of org/repo shorthand: The extensions install command no longer supports installing extensions using the org/repo shorthand (e.g., test-org/test-repo). Users must now provide the full Git URL.
- Code Simplification: Removed the regular expression and associated logic previously used to parse and convert org/repo strings into Git URLs, simplifying the installation source handling.
- Improved Error Messaging and Documentation: The error message for invalid installation sources has been updated to reflect that only valid URLs are accepted. Command descriptions have also been clarified.

Code Review
This pull request removes support for installing extensions using the 'org/repo' shorthand. The changes are well-contained and correctly implement the feature removal. The implementation in install.ts is simplified by removing the logic that handled the 'org/repo' format, and the corresponding error messages and command descriptions have been updated accordingly. The tests for the removed functionality in install.test.ts have also been correctly removed. The changes are straightforward and I did not find any issues with them.

TLDR
Removing this because we want to be forwards-compatible and to avoid making it seem like we're using npm.
