You have multiple options here:

- Switch to SSH for stash access
- Add a yocto user to stash and add those credentials to a the yocto
build users .netrc (http://www.mavetju.org/unix/netrc.php)
- Check poky/bitbake/lib/bb/fetch2/git.py what options are possible
for the git fetcher

You can wrap your stash URL in a Variable and set it in a global
location for example your conf/local.conf

MYFANCY_URI ??= "git://git.xxxx.com/scm/proj"
MYFANCY_URI_PROTOCOL ??= "https"
