Corgi is not initialising correctly, error: could not find package string-edit

[ChetanVashisht]

I am using a mac book pro 2015 with a emacs-plus@28 installation. I started with a fresh install of emacs as described in the corgi repository. I copied the sample config files to a clean ~/.emacs.d folder. When emacs starts up, I get the following error:

Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading ‘/Users/thechetan/.emacs.d/init.el’:

error: Could not find package string-edit. Updating recipe repositories: (corgi-packages org-elpa melpa gnu-elpa-mirror nongnu-elpa el-get emacsmirror-mirror) with ‘straight-pull-recipe-repositories’ may fix this

To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the
cause of the error in your initialization file.  Start Emacs with
the ‘--debug-init’ option to view a complete error backtrace. Disable showing Disable logging

1. Running the M-x straight-pull-recipe-repositories doesn't fix the issue
2. Changing the straight.el url in bootstrap.el doesn't fix the issue

It seems the package has been renamed, see upstream issue magnars/string-edit.el#19

I am using Ubuntu Linux with emacs 27.1. I was able to resolve the error mentioned by editing the corgi-editor.el file located in the .emacs.d/straight/repos/corgi-packages/corgit-editor directory. I changed line 4. Specifically, (string-edit) to (string-edit-at-point) and the error mentioned didn't reoccur on restart of emacs.

The diff for reference:

That and the versions file would need to be updated. PR would be much appreciated!
