Is there an easy way to upgrade versions of Insiders on a local project (using pip install) without having to specify the GH_TOKEN everytime ?

I guess you could fork the Insiders repository, and set up git over ssh if you haven't already. Next, test if you can git clone your private fork without entering credentials. If that works, you should be able to use pip in the following way:

pip install git+ssh://[email protected]/Ultra-Instinct-05/mkdocs-material-insiders.git

At least that's what StackOverflow says. Unfortunately, it's not possible with the original repository, as I would have to add your public SSH keys to my account, which would grant you basically everything 😉 Thus, the GH_TOKEN or forking it is.

As an alternative, you might just set GH_TOKEN as an environment variable in your .bashrc (or whatever shell you're using).

Ah, yes. I forgot I could just use an environment variable for this. Thanks !
