Thank you Jeff. I did not know Windows Credential Manager, but I used
it and found something that looked like a reference to a GIT PAT and
removed it. Now devtools::install_github() is once again installing my
package without complaining.
Appreciate the direction and links.

If not, git supports configuration settings related to specific repositories using git config from the connand line without the --global option.

Git is perfectly capable of using per-repo credentials... don't configure a credential in your global configuration and it won't fall back on using it to access random new repositories.
