How can I create configMap from a file in a different Git repository using Kustomize

I know that I can use Kustomize's configMapGenerator to create a configmap from a file that resides in the same Git repository as the "kustomization.yaml" file.

For Example:

apiVersion: kustomize.config.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Kustomization
resources:
  - deployment.yaml
configMapGenerator:
- name: my-config
  files:
  - config-file.json

But is it possible to create a configMap from a file that resides in a different Git repository?

For example:

apiVersion: kustomize.config.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Kustomization
resources:
  - deployment.yaml
configMapGenerator:
- name: my-config
  files:
  - git::ssh://[email protected]:7999/proj/repo-name.git//config-file.json

Kustomize is not able to fetch individual files from a remote repository, but it can treat a remote repository as a `resource` if it contains a `kustomization.yaml` file.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
