devtools::install_github("ropensci/rdataretriever")
is calling remotes::install_github() underneath.

Devtools has a lot of dependencies that you do not strictly need if you only want to install a package from github.

This is low priority and only a suggestion.

Thanks @RMHogervorst, I will confirm the suggestion with some folks on the team. I encountered and error that was solved by including devtools. I will update the issue tomorrow.
