Usage of private repo in build.zig.zon

Help

Question is it possible to reference a private repo in the build.zig.zon file?
Currently I am getting 404 unless I make the repo public.

I am using the latest build of zig.

No, at least not at the moment.

Maybe a bit late and not with perfect solutions, but you can try with:

  • a git submodule (or a simple project subfolder) and add the library in build.zig.zon:

    .dependencies = .{
    .ztester = .{
        .path = "external/private_repo",
    },
},

  • or, make a local archive with your code and:

    .dependencies = .{
    .ztester = .{
      .url = "file:///home/some_path/project/archives/private_repo.tar.gz",
      .hash = "some_hash",
    },
},

  • or, make an archive, store it in your email drive and:

    .dependencies = .{
    .ztester = .{
      .url = "https:///some_path/archives/private_repo.tar.gz",
      .hash = "some_hash",
    },
},

More or less these are “testing” solutions, not very suitable for production.
