Description

Hi there,

I'm building an application that shall use OAuth authentication to the git repo this app shall pull/push from/to.
Is this supported in this crate to establish this kind of authentication. From the doc's I'm only able to find user and ssh authentication unless I've overlooked something ...

Any hint would be welcome.

Thanks in advance.
