Allow instances to be pulled from other repositories
I and a team of others are working on https://github.com/Endless-Sky-Pirate-Campaign/endless-sky
Being able to manage installs of this branch using ESLauncher2 would smooth over our work greatly. I believe MCO mentioned something about needing to change how artifacts are handled to make this work.
What's your expectation as to how this should be configured? like, how would a person tell the launcher to use an alternative repo?

Yes, the artifact unblocker currently has the ES repo hardcoded. refs #140
Currently, when installing a new instance, you can pull from PR# or continuous. If another option were added below allowing the user to supply a URL to a valid ES repository to pull from that might do the trick.
I could open a pull request for this designed like #272. Would this be acceptable @Galaucus @MCOfficer ?
I could also add an option for user to provide their own personal access token.
This would be very useful to have, and it'd render the need to do things like creating a PR to the main repository just so that ESL2 can pick it up unnecessary.
Another option would be just: allow install from a downloaded Endless Sky release file / downloaded plugin.
Then one can just source their instance from literally any place they want.
Also this enables offline installs.
