I have a bunch of eg.

    inputs.patch-arsenik = {
      url = "https://patch-diff.githubusercontent.com/raw/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/386205.patch";
      flake = false;
    };

in the flake for my systems, applied with patchedNixpkgs = inputs.nixpkgs.legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.applyPatches { src = inputs.nixpkgs; patches = [ inputs.patch-arsenik ]; };, for some of my PRs I want in my pkgs but are not merged. This allow to have up-to-date patches with low effort.

But recently, github rate limits have been hitting me on like 100% of my nix flake update. Anybody has a workaround ?

If I could set an access token on githubusercontent, it would work (eg. as in curl "https://patch-diff.githubusercontent.com/raw/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/386205.patch?access_token=$GITHUB_TOKEN"), but I have no idea how to configure that without exposing the token directly in my flake.nix, which is a public file
