`devtools::install_github()` works but `pak::pkg_install()` fails about pak

FWIW if I call

/private/tmp/mootools main* 7s
❯ R CMD build r

from your repo, that also fails, although with a different error:

** help

Strange. I cannot reproduce that and neither can the github actions. Is that Linux or Mac? It looks like a Mac problem. If you are happy to open an issue in my repository and give me a full log I can investigate.

Does devtools::install_github("auto-optimization/mootools/r") give you the same error? It doesn't look at all like the error that pak gives me.

You can see here that installing with remotes::install_github works (even in MacOS):

so it seems this may be a bug in pak, perhaps in handling packages that are in subdirectories of a github repo?
