is there anything preventing the GitHub block from working with non-GitHub repos, like GitLab?

And though it says it's for public repositories, would a private repo work if SSH was already configured in the execution environment?

Hey @Kevin Grismore - I haven't tried it with GitLab but under the hood
git clone
is used to fetch the
repository
specified, so I imagine it should work the same way. As for private repos, yes in principle you could configure the execution environment with SSH / auth to pull from private repos but to allow for users to easily avoid putting secrets in their runtime images we'll soon have an option to store a github PAT on the github filesystem block
