install_github() not working for version 2.4.5

[szuniga07]

Dear devtools team,

I recently updated to the July 2025 version and I haven't been able to successfully use install_github(). I am using my work computer. I built a package with devtools, wanted to install it at work while the package is under review with Cran.

Here is the code I ran and the error:

devtools::install_github("szuniga07/ham")
Downloading GitHub repo szuniga07/ham@HEAD
Error in utils::download.file(url, path, method = method, quiet = quiet, :
cannot open URL 'https://api.github.com/repos/szuniga07/ham/tarball/HEAD'

install_local() works fine so I can install it that way.

Here is my session info
