No release zip yet. The repository archive installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow:

wp plugin install https://github.com/hube2/acf-to-content/archive/refs/heads/master.zip

Declares an update source (https://github.com/Hube2/acf-to-content), so updates arrive through the plugin's own updater.

From the readme

ACF to Content Add ACF field content to the postcontent column for easier and more efficiient searching of ACF fields. What is this plugin for? ACF fields are not searched by the standard WP search. Basically, WP only searches for words in the posttitle and postcontent columns. There are plugins available that will let you search custom fields and there are examples of making WP search custom fields by altering the query. These work great if you only have a few fields to search. Once you start needing to search many fields or you need to start searching sub fields of repeaters, flex fields, or other types of nested and non standard fields then you generally run into issues. Sub fields and fields that are stored as arrays are difficult to search because of how the fields are stored in the database. On top of this if you try to do LIKE queries on too many meta fields you'll just cause the query to time out. This plugin solves the problem in another way. Instead of searching all these fields individually it puts the content of the fields into the postcontent column in the DB so that it's available for searching without needing any special code or tools to do the work.
