Why

The current multi-buildpack guide explains .buildpacks syntax and ordering, but it is not explicit about the private buildpack workflow.
This can lead users to try HTTPS private URLs while using ssh-private-key-buildpack, which fails.

What changed

In src/_posts/platform/deployment/buildpacks/2000-01-01-multi.md, this PR adds a minimal section:

  • "Can I Use Private Buildpacks?"
  • Explicit recommendation to add ssh-private-key-buildpack first
  • Concrete .buildpacks example with private git@... URLs and branch syntax
  • Note recommending SSH URLs for private repositories when using the SSH key buildpack

Scope

  • Docs only
  • No product/runtime behavior changes

I find the format of this page a bit unusual, but since your addition respects the general format of the page... LGTM.

praise: thanks, I didn't know it was possible to do this!

comment: same as @benjaminach -- Looks like another page that would benefit from a rewrite 😫

suggestion: maybe it would be nice to also update (or even remove) the paragraph here: https://doc.scalingo.com/platform/deployment/buildpacks/custom#private-buildpack?
