Editor freezes when clicking "Connect to VCS" (4.0.stable)

Not sure what else to add, besides that I have zero experience with Git and that the issue is likely on my side.
Additionally, going into Project Settings>Plugins and clicking Enable gives the following error:
Unable to load addon script from path: 'res://addons/godot-git-plugin/godot-git-plugin.gd'. This might be due to a code error in that script.
Disabling the addon at 'res://addons/godot-git-plugin/plugin.cfg' to prevent further errors.
