Support for network agnostic builds

[muzammil786]

Hi - Is there a way that the same yml can be used on different networks where the git repo links are different?
We have two networks where the git repos are mirrored but their links are different. So I was wondering if we could use environment variables in sources like:

location: repos

sources:
        - repo: ssh://git@"${GIT_BASE}"/project/myrepo1.git
          name: myrepo1
          rev: "${PROJ_BRANCH:-develop}"

        - repo: ssh://git@"${GIT_BASE}"/project/myrepo2.git
          name: myrepo2
          rev: "${PROJ_BRANCH:-develop}"

Where GIT_BASE and PROJ_BRANCH can be set before running gitman install.

Regarding the GIT_BASE, you can use a git configuration like

[url "ssh://git@example.com/"]
    insteadOf = ssh://git@placeholder/

This will not solve the PROJ_BRANCH issue.

Anyway, the cheap solutions that come to my mind and that will fully solve your issue are:

1. to create the gitman.yml file using a template that is compiled by the tool of choice
2. to have a etc/gitman/dev.yml and a etc/gitman/prod.yml files that you will symlink to gitman.yml
