Gitlab cloning other dependent private repositories during ci pipeline

If we need to clone any other private repositories during the GitLab `ci` pipeline process, we can use the below command to run the on the `bash` script to copy the source code from another project.

The Job environment variable CI_JOB_TOKEN can be used to authenticate any clones of dependent repositories. For example:

git clone https://gitlab-ci-token:${CI_JOB_TOKEN}@gitlab.com/myuser/mydependentrepo



It can also be used for system-wide authentication (only do this in a docker container, it will overwrite ~/.netrc):

echo -e "machine gitlab.com\nlogin gitlab-ci-token\npassword ${CI_JOB_TOKEN}" > ~/.netrc
