r - Installing non-public packages from Gitlab using devtools::install_git

Question

My institution recently installed GitLab for us. I've figured out how to install R packages from the GitLab server using devtools::install_git and it works as long as the project is public.

#* When modeltable project has Public status
devtools::install_git('https://mini-me2.lerner.ccf.org/nutterb/modeltable.git')

However, if I have a package that is listed as either "Internal" or "Private," I can't install the package without some form of authentication. As of yet, I haven't figured out how to pass authentication via the URL. Does anyone have experience with downloading packages from GitLab?

#* After changing the 'modeltable' project to Private status
devtools::install_git('https://mini-me2.lerner.ccf.org/nutterb/modeltable.git')
Preparing installation of modeltable using the Git-URL: https://mini-me2.lerner.ccf.org/nutterb/modeltable.git
'/usr/bin/git'clone --depth 1 --no-hardlinks https://mini-me2.lerner.ccf.org/nutterb/modeltable.git /tmp/Rtmp5aj1cU/file24493dc03a32
Error: There seems to be a problem retrieving this Git-URL.
