Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Yes, currently GitOps does not support using service principals when pulling from Azure repos. For orgs that enforce a short PAT lifetime (like 7 days), it is very cumbersome to re authenticate each gitops configuration with a new PAT token every week.
Describe the solution you'd like
There should be an option to use a service principal when authenticating to Azure Repos. Both Client Certificate and secret should be accepted.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I've considered using an Azure Pipeline to push changes to an Azure Blob. Then configuring the source in Gitops to be an Azure Blob.
