+```env
+VITE_GITHUB_TOKEN='your_github_token'
+VITE_MODE=dev

+- The mode needs to be set in order for the proxies in `vite.config.js` to function properly.
+
+>[!Note]
+>
+>These environment variables aren't needed in the production build as a separate file! Use Github Action's environmental secrets to add your variables.
