How to pass private config vars to RTD?

• Read the Docs username (if applicable): byrnereese

Problem Description

I recently created a mkdocs plugin (https://github.com/byrnereese/mkdocs-git-committers-plugin) that will display a list of contributors associated with a documentation page. It used the Github API which has aggressive API rate limits unless you are auth'ed with a token.

So I created a token, and added it to my docs mkdocs.yml file under the plugin config. This is obviously far from ideal.

Is there a way to pass these types of values in through an ENV (environment variable) to RTD so that I do not need to reveal these auth tokens publicly?

Currently, there isn't, but it's on plans #4899
