Extracting metadata from GitLab/GitHub private repositories

Hello @dgarijo

Is it possible to extract metadata from GitLab/GitHub private repositories? I tried a private GitHub repo and it doesn't work.

@Aidajafarbigloo,

For Gitlab, yes, it should work.

For GitHub private repos no, as we don't deal with GitHub authentication. However, you can download the private repo and point to the README file using -d, --doc_src PATH

I think that we should add a flag for analyzing a local folder too, instead of just the readme. I thought we had this option. Will add a new flag for this

I opened #638 to support local folders too. If your question is not answered by my response above, please reopen the issue.
