I created a project access token with sufficient rights (read_repository, write_repository, read_registry, write_registry). Now I searched for a way to pull new changes to my already created repo using that token.
I found two ways to use a project access token: 1. for pulling git registry docker images: docker login -u <access-token-name> -p <access-token> gitlab... and 2. for cloning repos: git clone "https://my-project:$PROJECT_TOKEN@my.gitlab.host..., but nothing to git pull (code, not images) with an already existing/cloned repository.
Another user but me originally cloned the repo and I don't want to use their account nor my personal account to login.
You can use following command to pull changes with Access token:
git pull https://{username}:{access_token}@{RepoUrl}
