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 ?

@gsaurel:laas.frnim65s 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 16:39:36

for flake inputs you're in luck, you can set the access-tokens nix option 		17:04:03
@dramforever:matrix.orgdramforeveroh wait hmmm17:04:25
@dramforever:matrix.orgdramforeveryeah i posted too quick and didn't notice you're using https on a github url...17:06:19
@gsaurel:laas.frnim65s I tried access-tokens = github.com=ghp_… patch-diff.githubusercontent.com=ghp_…, but it didn't work, and I found in the doc that it is like only for specific to github/gitlab things, so this probably won't work with a random thing 17:08:16
@dramforever:matrix.orgdramforevertbh, i'm mostly surprised this even works. having non-pinnable https inputs is a surefire way to make your old flake revisions non-reproducible17:10:52
@dramforever:matrix.orgdramforever it'll fail the flake.lock check forcing you to update 17:11:36
