Instructions for GitLab folks, as this was one of my first results of Googling "GitLab .netrc":
machine gitlab.com
login oauth2
password <PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN>
That enables:
- Cloning repos with https
- Accessing some private package registries with https (ex: pypi)
- Login in GitLab's private container registry using
docker login registry.gitlab.com
(of course your <PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN> needs the correct capabilities)
Also, during CI:
build_job:
script:
- |
echo "
machine gitlab.com
login gitlab-ci-token
password $CI_JOB_TOKEN
" > ~/.netrc

Something interesting I found while testing the .netrc with go+git+GitHub: when using a GitHub personal access token (PAT) for the
passwordin the .netrc, the value given forlogincan be any arbitrary value, it doesn't need to be the username that the PAT was generated for (it does need to be set to something though).
