remotes::install_github Error: HTTP error 422. No commit found for SHA: rc-0.3.1

I'm not able to install any package from github. When I tried the following code

remotes::install_github('yihui/xaringan', upgrade = TRUE)

I got the following message

Downloading GitHub repo yihui/xaringan@master
Error: HTTP error 422.
  No commit found for SHA: rc-0.3.1

  Rate limit remaining: 4990/5000

Any thoughts to figure out this problem, please.

Solution

  • I think this is the same issue as https://github.com/r-lib/remotes/issues/273. Try this instead:

    remotes::install_github('yihui/xaringan', upgrade = FALSE)

    Since the offending package seems to be rlang (which you previously installed from Github but a certain branch named rc-0.3.1 has been deleted later), you need to reinstall it from CRAN.
