  To increase your GitHub API rate limit

  - Use `usethis::create_github_token()` to create a Personal Access Token.

  - Use `gitcreds::gitcreds_set()` to add the token.

Need to set up GitHub account to avoid this rate limit error.

1. Run in R, usethis::create_github_token()
2. On pop-up website, generate and copy your own taken
3. Run in R, credentials::set_github_pat("YourPATinStep2")
4. Verify setting in R, usethis::git_sitrep()
5. Run in R, remotes::install_github('the repo you want to install')
