In their native form, these secrets are unsuitable for consumption by Git and
Docker. For Git, they need to be turned into (some form of) `.gitconfig`. For
Docker, they need to be turned into a `~/.docker/config.json` file. Also,
while each of these supports having multiple credentials for multiple domains,

## SSH authentication (Git)
First, define a `Secret` containing your SSH private key.
1. Define a `Secret` containing your SSH private key:
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
name: ssh-key
annotations:
build.knative.dev/git-0: https://github.com # Described below
type: kubernetes.io/ssh-auth
data:
ssh-privatekey: <base64 encoded>
# This is non-standard, but its use is encouraged to make this more secure.
known_hosts: <base64 encoded>
```

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
name: ssh-key

type: kubernetes.io/ssh-auth
data:
ssh-privatekey: <base64 encoded>
# This is non-standard, but its use is encouraged to make this more secure.
known_hosts: <base64 encoded>
```
To generate the value of `ssh-privatekey`, copy the value of (for example) `cat id_rsa | base64`.
1. Generate the value of `ssh-privatekey` by copying the value of (for example)
`cat id_rsa | base64`.
Then copy the value of `cat ~/.ssh/known_hosts | base64` to the `known_hosts` field.

1. Execute the build:
```shell
kubectl apply -f secret.yaml serviceaccount.yaml build.yaml

generated containing the key configured in the `Secret`. This key is then
used to authenticate with the Git service.
