Unable to install example from README

[pkernevez]

When creating a project with readme example, we always have a FATAL error with the message 'authentication required'.

We are using argocd-autopilot 0.2.23.

argocd-autopilot app create demoapp --app github.com/argoproj-labs/argocd-autopilot/examples/demo-app/ -p testing --log-level=debug

FATA[2021-11-10T16:57:46+01:00] authentication required

We try several configurations and git server (github and gitea) with the same behaviour. Adding a --apps-repo parameter doesn't change it.

Here's a guess: I think you can work around this by specifying an APPS_GIT_TOKEN for github. Shouldn't be necessary in order to just read a project, but I guess the GIT_TOKEN takes precedence otherwise. This would mean this affects everyone who doesn't have their control repo on GitHub.

Here's what I know: Adding "--type kustomize" to the command line tells autopilot which type of application it is, meaning it doesn't have to clone it to detect that.

Here's my opinion: In the end, autopilot basically just puts a link to the file on github into your repo. Can we have a better "testing" example than that? Something where there's actually something going on in the control repo itself? Maybe provide both kinds of examples.
