R help - Oct 2023 - Need help to resolve the Error: evaluation nested too deeply: infinite recursion / options(expressions=)? Execution halted

Hello Colleagues,

I am trying to get the Git repository using *remotes* package. I am
using *remotes::install_github("dcl-docs/dcldata")
*to get the Git repo.

However, I am getting the following error message. I have absolutely no
idea on what this error message means and how to get away with this. Can
anyone please suggest the way out...?

Here is the error message that i am getting:
> remotes::install_github("dcl-docs/dcldata")Downloading GitHub

Many thanks for the prompt help as always!

Hmm, I can't replicate (i.e., it works fine for me).  What are the 
results of your sessionInfo() (from a *clean* R session)?
