    The provider type for the github package. By default, resources use package-wide configuration settings, however an explicit Provider instance may be created and passed during resource construction to achieve fine-grained programmatic control over provider settings. See the documentation for more information.

    Create Provider Resource

    Resources are created with functions called constructors. To learn more about declaring and configuring resources, see Resources.

    Constructor syntax

    new Provider(name: string, args?: ProviderArgs, opts?: CustomResourceOptions);
    @overload
    def Provider(resource_name: str,
                 args: Optional[ProviderArgs] = None,
                 opts: Optional[ResourceOptions] = None)
    
    @overload
    def Provider(resource_name: str,
                 opts: Optional[ResourceOptions] = None,
                 app_auth: Optional[ProviderAppAuthArgs] = None,
                 base_url: Optional[str] = None,
                 insecure: Optional[bool] = None,
                 organization: Optional[str] = None,
                 owner: Optional[str] = None,
                 read_delay_ms: Optional[int] = None,
                 token: Optional[str] = None,
                 write_delay_ms: Optional[int] = None)
    func NewProvider(ctx *Context, name string, args *ProviderArgs, opts ...ResourceOption) (*Provider, error)
    public Provider(string name, ProviderArgs? args = null, CustomResourceOptions? opts = null)
    public Provider(String name, ProviderArgs args)
    public Provider(String name, ProviderArgs args, CustomResourceOptions options)
