Support for private repos #57

Closed shawnyeager closed 5 years ago

shawnyeager commented 5 years ago

My use case is for access to themes like the PRO (paid) version of @qwtel’s excellent Hydejack theme, wherein he supplies an ssh key to access a private repo.

In combination with platforms like Netlify, automating updates from private theme repos is very tricky. Solving this problem would seem to open up the opportunity for more seamless updates by commercial developers.

Currently, I mirror the repo locally and push it to my Gitlab repo, along with the gemspec and the necessary changes to _config.yml and Gemfile. Workable, but manual.
