deploy:update_code - support HTTPS with username and password

[FluffyDiscord]

My use case is simple. I do not want to put on the target host SSH key that can access everything on my gitlab instance, or create dummy user with his own ssh key, just to limit access.

Gitlab allows us to create access key, that can be scoped up to a single project, and set as read-only, no user needed. We can then use it to authenticate HTTPS git operations using any string as username, and that access token as password.

Can we adjust deploy:update_code to allow us to set a password?

Add new option to set password to use when oulling project from git

Sure

I'm using CI_REPOSITORY_URL variable in GitLab. In:

set('repository', getenv('CI_REPOSITORY_URL'));

Result in deployer is:

/usr/bin/git clone --mirror [https://gitlab-ci-token:[MASKED]@git.xxxx.com/yyyy/shop.git]

So I think you can just set the repository with https and user/pass, and it will work.
