Hi Michael, It works for me with manually trying the git clone.
I tried on a test AstLinux box (astlinux-1.5-6672-5c3316) with LXC debian12... -- minipc ~ # lxc-attach debian12 root@debian12:/# cd root@debian12:~# mkdir test root@debian12:~# cd test root@debian12:~/test# apt install git Reading package lists...

Or possibly high traffic (AI bots) is requiring Github credentials?
