Create Git Deploy Key
Create a public/private key pair for authenticating ssh git requests from Looker to a remote git repository
for a particular Looker project.
Returns the public key of the generated ssh key pair.
Copy this public key to your remote git repository's ssh keys configuration so that the remote git service can
validate and accept git requests from the Looker server.
