I am trying to import a RDS file into RStudio in Windows, I tried following this example, which is for Rdata, and I tried both methods:
Method 1:
githubURL <- ("https://github.com/derek-corcoran-barrios/LastBat/blob/master/best2.My.Lu2.rds")
BestMyyu <- readRDS(url(githubURL))
Method 2:
githubURL <- ("https://github.com/derek-corcoran-barrios/LastBat/blob/master/best2.My.Lu2.rds")
download.file(githubURL,"best2.My.Lu2.rds")
BestMyyu <- readRDS("best2.My.Lu2.rds")
I've looked for other threads and I have not found any other example

The most direct way to get data from Github to your computer/ into R, is to download the repository. That is, click the big green button: The big, green button saying “Clone or download”, click it and choose “download zip”. Of course, for those using Git and Github, it would be appropriate to clone the repository.
Reading from a R data file R has its own data file format–it's usually saved using the . rds extension. To read a R data file, invoke the readRDS() function.
R also has two native data formats—Rdata (sometimes shortened to Rda) and Rds. These formats are used when R objects are saved for later use. Rdata is used to save multiple R objects, while Rds is used to save a single R object. See below for instructions on how to read and load data into R from both file extensions.
In 2nd method you just need to add method="curl" and also change the url to point to raw (Download link on the page)
githubURL <- ("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/derek-corcoran-barrios/LastBat/master/best2.My.Lu2.rds")
download.file(githubURL,"best2.My.Lu2.rds", method="curl")
BestMyyu <- readRDS("best2.My.Lu2.rds")
If you don't have curl installed, you can get it from here
