I would like to get #2166 merged too, and ideally #2159 fixed.

@theoludwig you will not be automatically updated. When a new version comes out, you will have to uninstall the source-built copy you had cloned from GitHub and then download from extensions.gnome.org or Extension Manager or whatever you use.
You could also keep pulling the changes and re-installing from the source repo instead of using the GNOME website but those changes might not be stable.

honestly I don't understand, how it is not integrated in GNOME by default, if anyone has a discussion related to it, I would be curious to read it, if it has already been discussed 👀).
I would like to read it too, if someone knows, please.

Hey! So basically when you install a software from source, you'll first download the Git repository (I suggest you to watch videos about how Git works, it will be the absolute and most important thing you'll need to learn and master on Linux). If you pull changes from upstream (the server) to your local repo (your machine), you'll just have to re-execute the command to build the software. You will have immediately the latest changes without waiting for a release. But, the obvious downside is if some dev pushes something bad, not much tested, it has the potential to break something.
Second, I don't think pre-releases are that useful. It still needs packaging, effort etc... for not much help. You still can build the latest with the git repo, consider this a "pre-release". Even the actual extension isn't a stable release, as it will always contain bugs, break easily when a new GNOME is out, etc...

Thanks for your responses.
@kernelb00t I'm aware of how Git works and Linux. 😆
Being a developer myself (but not a developer of GNOME extensions).
Weird that you thought, I was a beginner, maybe my question was not well formulated.
My question was more related to how GNOME extensions releases are working. How updates are pushed to extensions.gnome.org and how users got the update. Is it automatic? How do users download the update?
As I stopped using the version published on extensions.gnome.org, will I still be able to get updates from the "official" one? Or I first need to uninstall the one I built from source, and then install again, the one on extensions.gnome.org?
I hope my questions are now clearer. 😄

This is one of the reasons why I would not bother installing directly from Git: it very likely requires maintenance, and returning to the official, non-Git version, might be a hassle.

@theoludwig Sorry, I don't even know why I thought you were a newbie with git.
This issue seems resolved. If your question is answered, please close 😉 (and a little thank you message will always be appreciated, we love to know when our answers to people's questions are clear and understandable!)

It still shows up in https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/307/dash-to-dock/
as incompatible :(
