Private git repositories token based auth

[DiptoChakrabarty]

Https based authentication is not working for a private repository using the flux and kustomize controller.
These are the files I have written and using

(gitinfo.yml file)
apiVersion: source.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v1beta1
kind: GitRepository
metadata:
name: gitinfo
namespace: flux
spec:
interval: 1m
url: https://github.com/DiptoChakrabarty/order-microservice
secretRef:
name: token

(secret file)
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
name: token
namespace: flux
type: Opaque
data:
username: Username encoded in base64
password: github token encoded in base64

(kustomization file)
apiVersion: kustomize.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v1beta1
kind: Kustomization
metadata:
name: gitinfo-test
namespace: flux
spec:
interval: 5m
path: "./flux/env/dev"
prune: true
sourceRef:
kind: GitRepository
name: gitinfo
validation: client
timeout: 80s

However I always get this error when I execute the command kubectl get gitrepository -n flux
unable to clone 'https://github.com/DiptoChakrabarty/order-microservice', error: authentication required.

I am also running into the same thing, very similar setup, version 0.8.0 of Flux

There has been a ton of changes in our Git implementation since this was first reported. Have you tested it with the latest versions?

Is this still hapenning? If so, would you mind sharing what is the Git server being used?
