Description

As a Chef user in an enterprise setting, I want to consume cookbooks/profiles from private git repos.

E.g. Internal policies require that all source code is stored in authenticated repositories that limit who can access the code. Currently, the effortless pattern has no mechanism to provide credentials or keys to facilitate this authentication.

Specification

Add scaffolding variables to allow user to provide either credentials or ssh key for authenticating.

Downstream Impact

Since this will only add the ability to auth, no downstream impact is expected.
