how to convert a pulumi.StringOutput into regular string?

this doesn't work
`fmt.Print(string(githubPAT.Value()))`

Have you tried asking <https://www.pulumi.com/ai> ?

```	strgithubPAT := githubPAT.Value().ToStringOutput().ApplyT(func(s string) (string, error) {
		// Now you can work with 's' as a standard Go string
		// Here we're just passing it through
		return s, nil
	}).(pulumi.StringOutput)

	// Export the string
	ctx.Export("outputS", strgithubPAT)```
how can i pass it to this?
`req.Header.Set("Authorization", fmt.Sprintf("Bearer %s",  strgithubPAT))`

You can’t. This is often a bit surprising, see <https://www.pulumi.com/docs/concepts/inputs-outputs/|here> for the reason.

You need to do whatever you need to do with the string _inside_ `ApplyT`.

Just to mention, there's also `pulumi.Sprintf()` instead of `fmt.Sprintf()`

it doesn't like the `pulumi.Sprintf` bcoz `Set` requires a string?

it doesn't complain with `fmt.Sprintf` but preview shows Unauthorized meaning something off with the conversion of pulumi string to regular go string.
```	req.Header.Set("Authorization", fmt.Sprintf("Bearer %s", githubPAT.Value().ApplyT(func(value string) string {
		return value
	})))```

I'm sorry to say that I'm no expert on this myself. I usually ask the AI to provide a solution and test it out, but I haven't been using Pulumi or Go for that matter long enough to provide expert help here :disappointed:

no worries. will share it too once i figured it out :)
