When I use the remotes::install_local("/tmp/master.zip") to install a local git repo. The Timeout was reached: [api.github.com] Connection timeout after 10001 ms always appears and then exit.

I don't understand why the network connnection is neccessary when install a local package.

Because some dependencies are probably referring to packages on GitHub.
