Deploy application: Enable deploying from private Git repositories

Deployment type

(select the type below by replacing the space with an x)

• Cloud Foundry Application (cf push)
• Kubernetes, using a helm chart
• Docker, using docker compose
• Docker, single container deploying all components
• Other (please provide below)

Expected behaviour

• As a UI user I want to be able to deploy an application contained in a Git repository that requires authentication (username and password explicitly provided by the user)
• As a UI user I want to be able to deploy an application contained in a Git repository that requires authentication (username and password of the currently logged-in user)

Actual behaviour

• As a UI user I can deploy only applications contained in a public Git repository (i.e. a repository with no authentication)

Steps to reproduce the behavior

• Click on “deploy application”
• Notice that the only supported options are “deploy from public github repo”, “deploy from public Git repo” and “deploy from local folder/file”

Detailed Description

The deploy application UI should allow users to (optionally) specify the credentials to use when authenticating to the remote Git repository. The UI should then use these credentials when pulling the repository.

Context

In corporate environments most repositories require authentication.

Possible Implementation

@XuejiaoZhang @giner We’re working to get a v1 release out at the moment but once we’re finished (hopefully within the next couple of weeks) we’ll get on this issue, it’s a high priority for us.

This is a good request. We previously had a pretty decent method to manage github tokens via the endpoints page. Ideally we’d like to bring this method back in and use it to support deploy. Once we’ve tackled feature comparity for deploy in V2 (which should hopefully appear in this repo this week) we’d like to tackle this one.
