Install github from public repo

[byzheng]

When I updated to R 4.4.0 under Windows 11, I cannot install any R packages from github now with this error

Using GitHub PAT from the git credential store.
Error: Failed to install 'unknown package' from GitHub:
  HTTP error 401.
  Bad credentials

I don't think any PAT credential store locally. Any idea to fix this problem?

I don't think any PAT credential store locally.

remotes seems to think otherwise. Try to use

Sys.getenv("GITHUB_TOKEN")
Sys.getenv("GITHUB_PAT")
gitcreds::gitcreds_get()
gitcreds::gitcreds_get()$password

to see where the token is coming from, and then remove it.

Thanks @gaborcsardi. gitcreds::gitcreds_get() finds a PAT. Where can I locate it?

[byzheng]

I have to remove the PAT using Windows Credential Manager.

For the record, there is also gitcreds::gitcreds_delete().
