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 <@U03M1JGEZ44> - I haven't tried it with GitLab but <https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/main/src/prefect/filesystems.py#L768|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
