Ability of the Private Automation Hub to directly synchronize Collections from Git

1. What is the nature and description of the request?

Extend the current synchronization methods in the Private Hub to also allow synchronization of Collections from a Git repository as the source.

1. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)

Currently there is not a direct method to do this and requires additional steps:

• cloning the git repo on a filesystem
• tar the different collections
• upload each collection to the PAH.

Yet, installing collections from Git is possible at the command line on a Developer workstation with 'ansible-galaxy' when using 'type: git'.

1. How would you like to achieve this? (List the functional requirements here)

Allow PAH admins/users to configure Git repos as sources for Collections.
Authentication: support for SSH Keys or personal access tokens
Version control: ability to specify which version to synchronize
Similar to what already exist with "ansible-galaxy collection install" and using a requirements.yml file, e.g:

collections:

• name: https://github.com/organization/repo_name.git
  type: git
  version: devel
