I'm trying to pass my GitHub token from a secret exposed by another stack:
```github = pulumi.StackReference(f"github-{environment}")
github_token = secrets.github("token")
os.environ['GITHUB_TOKEN'] = github_token```
Is there any way to force the output to resolve before a github resource is requested?

if you pass it as a provider option, it'll resolve in the correct order:
<https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/pkg/github/provider/#token_python>

you can also set the `os.environ` inside an `.apply` but there's no guarantee the token will be set before the resources are created

i would strongly recommend using an explicit provider

How do I create an explicit github provider with Python?
`provider = github.NewProvider(...)` or something else?

found it: `mygithubprovider = github.Provider(...)`

<@UCWG26BH7> How do I use the explicit provider?

```    webhook = github.RepositoryWebhook(f"bootstrap-webhook-{environment}",
        repository='pulumi-bootstrap',
        configuration=github.RepositoryWebhookConfigurationArgs(
            url=apigw.api_endpoint,
            content_type="json",
            insecure_ssl=False,
        ),
        active=True,
        events=["pull_request"],
        __opts__=pulumi.ResourceOptions(provider=mygithubprovider))```
I'm getting an error when running my stack:
 `_internal_init() got an unexpected keyword argument '__opts__'`

`opts=pulumi.ResourceOptions(provider=mygithubprovider))` shouldwork
