I have the same issue.

NVIM v0.95

This is because neogit merges nightly branch and support 0.10+ only.

I suggest create a stable branch for 0.9.5 users so that the user does not need to manully pin at a specific commit.

The README states that its compatible with stable to

The master branch will always be compatible with the latest stable release of Neovim, and usually with the latest nightly build as well.

I made a tag for nvim 0.9 users: https://github.com/NeogitOrg/neogit/releases/tag/v0.0.1

HEAD follows the latest stable version of neovim, which is now 0.10 https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases
