I suggest you use https tokens. Use git’s `insteadOf` feature to auto-convert all ssh and non-cred urls to the correct credded url. To do this, have your `before_script` section do something like

```julia
    git config --global url."https://$JULIASYSTEMUSER:$JULIAREGTOKEN@gitlab.mycompany.com/".insteadOf "git@gitlab.mycompany.com:"
    git config --global url."https://$JULIASYSTEMUSER:$JULIAREGTOKEN@gitlab.mycompany.com/".insteadOf "https://gitlab.mycompany.com/" --add

```

This works nice because it doesn’t matter how the url’s are listed in the registry.
