Using an Http Auth URL with git-sync

Step 1: Create Auth Service

First, create a http service which can provide the username and password for the git repo.

Example of the auth url output:

username=xxx@example.com
password=ya29.xxxxyyyyzzzz

Step 2: Configure git-sync container

In your git-sync container configuration, specify the auth url.

The credentials will pass in plain text, make sure the connection between git-sync and auth server are secure. The recommended way is the auth server running within the same pod as git-sync.

            value: "http://localhost:8080/gce_node_auth",
