Is there anyway to access an internal repo?

Is there anyway to access an internal repo by add an access token somewhere maybe?

The case is, I have a self-hosted gitlab instance, and all the repos are setup as internal or private.
I need a issues track badge, so what should I do?

If you need to use shields badges with private repos or services that are behind a corporate firewall, the most common solution to this is to self-host your own instance of shields and use that rather than shields.io. There are docs on how to do this at https://github.com/badges/shields/blob/master/doc/self-hosting.md

I had my own instance already. But the repos themselves are internal, like u need login to access.

Then you should be able to set GitLab credentials using these config vars:

Although do note that not 100% of GitLab badges currently work with auth
