README.md:97
- The linked 'VCS support' doc focuses on version control integration rather than authentication. Consider linking to the pip authentication/configuration docs (e.g., https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/user_guide/#environment-variables) for guidance on credentials and private indices.
>The `setup-python` action does not handle authentication for pip when installing packages from private repositories. For help, refer [pip’s VCS support documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/topics/vcs-support/) or visit the [pip repository](https://github.com/pypa/pip).
