* add authentication support for private repositories support for ~/.netrc support for environment variable support for stdin * document authentication methods
Introduce an authentication system to fetch scripts from private sources
like GitHub and GitLab.
- Add `--auth-header` flag and `VET_AUTH_HEADER` env var to allow custom
authentication headers (e.g., "PRIVATE-TOKEN: {}").
- Support providing tokens via `--token-stdin` (piping) and the
`VET_TOKEN` environment variable, defaulting to "Authorization: Bearer {}".
- Add support for `-n, --netrc`.

| As a fallback, `vet` can read credentials from a `~/.netrc` file if the `-n`, `--netrc` flag is used. This method will be ignored if `VET_AUTH_TOKEN` is set or `--token-stdin` is used. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
In my research, wget will read a .netrc file by default if it exists. Curl required the -n flag to be set. It may be .netrc would take priority over other auth methods if wget were managing the connection.
