pip install with git token

Title: Using Git Token with pip install for Private Python Package Repositories
Introduction:
When working with private Python package repositories hosted on Git, you may encounter situations where you need to authenticate using a Git token. This tutorial will guide you through the process of using a Git token with pip install to access and install packages from private repositories.
Prerequisites:
Step 1: Generate a Git Token
Before you can use a Git token with pip install, you need to generate one from your Git hosting provider. Follow the respective provider's documentation to create a token with the necessary permissions.
Step 2: Add the Git Token to the Git Credential Manager
For enhanced security, you can add your Git token to the Git Credential Manager. Open a terminal and run the following command, replacing YOUR_TOKEN with your actual token:
This command adds your Git credentials to the credential manager.
Step 3: Install a Private Package with pip and Git Token
Now that your Git token is set up, you can use it with pip install to install packages from private repositories. Open a terminal and run:
Replace the URL with the actual URL of your private repository. pip will prompt you for your Git credentials, and it will use the Git token you added to the credential manager.
Alternatively, you can embed the Git token directly in the URL:
Replace username, YOUR_TOKEN, and the repository URL accordingly.
Conclusion:
In this tutorial, you learned how to use a Git token with pip install to access and install packages from private Git repositories. This process ensures secure authentication while seamlessly integrating with Python package management.
