Expiration timestamp. Can be empty if unknown or non-expiring.
Uses RFC 3339, where generated output will always be Z-normalized and uses 0, 3, 6 or 9 fractional digits. Offsets other than "Z" are also accepted. Examples: "2014-10-02T15:01:23Z", "2014-10-02T15:01:23.045123456Z" or "2014-10-02T15:01:23+05:30".
gitUsername
string
The gitUsername to specify when making a git clone with the token. For example, for GitHub GitRepositoryLinks, this would be "x-access-token"
