Authentication with Cloud source repository (Google Cloud)

[form19]

### Proposed Feature

Can you please add support of Google Cloud Source repository

### Motivation

I would like to use Kargo and connect to Google Cloud Source repository. Is there a compatibility with this product?

Google use Workload Identity federation to authentication. In the documentation i can see a section for Artifact registry but nothing about Cloud Source repository: https://docs.kargo.io/operator-guide/security/managing-credentials#google-artifact-registry-gar

Are there a any other possibility to provide authentication for this product?

[krancour]

Cloud Source Repositories does not support Workload Identity Federation.

Ok thanks. Which other authentication system support kargo for Google Cloud Source repository? Json key with service account? Thanks

[krancour]

Kargo can authenticate in the ways that are documented here:

User perspective: https://docs.kargo.io/user-guide/security/managing-credentials

Operator perspective: https://docs.kargo.io/operator-guide/security/managing-credentials

If you don't see it mentioned there, it is not supported.

Please note that there is a difference between the authentication methods natively supported by Git clients/servers and the authentication methods that may be supported by the APIs that different Git repository hosting providers may support. Those APIs are provider-specific features not defined as part of Git's spec.

We can take another look at this, with the caveat that this is a very low priority.
