Do you get any error or do you know what and why it is blocked?

this is the output Continue as root/super user [yes]? y Creating a "laravel/laravel" project at "./basic" Installing laravel/laravel (v12.2.0)

In Windows I solved it by disabling antivirus, Avast

in the "basic" folder I only have the "vendor" subfolder

I read Could not resolve host: api.github.com in your errors, that gives me the idea that there is a dns error. If it can't resolve api.github.com it will probably also have a problem in resolving github.com. That makes it impossible to download the code.

I suspect you need to check your DNS configuration.

Your Laravel 12 install on Debian 12 is failing because your system can’t resolve api.github.com. Fix it by updating your DNS settings (e.g., use 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1 in /etc/resolv.conf) and ensuring no firewall or security software is blocking access. After fixing DNS, run: laravel new basic and it should work.
