Description
Description of the problem / feature request:
It's unclear how to use a private git repository with bazel. Please consider documenting how to set this up more prominently in the repository documentation.
Feature requests: what underlying problem are you trying to solve with this feature?
Interactive commands tend to fail because the git + ssh handshake may need the user to enter a password to unlock the ssh private key.
What operating system are you running Bazel on?
Ubuntu 20.04
What's the output of bazel info release?
release 3.2.0
