Support HTTPS username/password auth

Description

If HTTPS URLS are provided in the format

install git+https://username@domain.com/user/repo.git or install git+https://username:password@domain.com/user/repo.git

then strip out username/password and pass to JGit UsernamePasswordCredentialsProvider

Otherwise, add default of NetRCCredentialsProvider which looks for a netrc file which looks for ~/.netrc and then ~/_netrc with the format:

machine github.com login myUser password mypass

 

JGit is supposed to support these auth methods over HTTP but that seems unwise, so CommandBox will not use any auth for HTTP URLs right now.

Notes:

Github

Github personal access tokens can be specified as either

install git+https://username:keyhere@github.com/user/repo.git

or just the personal access token like

install git+https://keyhere@github.com/user/repo.git

and they both appear to work the same.

It appears that a private Github repo requires the “repo” scope selected for the personal access token.

GitLab

GitLab seems to want a username, but it doesn’t seem to matter what the username is.

install git+https://whateverYouWantHere:keyhere@gitlab.com/group/repo.git

Env Vars

You can use environment variables from the CLI or in your box.json

set token=myToken install git+https://user:${token}@gitlab.com/group/repo.git

But remember, the token will be visible in the output of the build logs.
