git-cloner

Docker image to clone requested github or bitbucket repository.

In case of private repositories you also have to mount deployment SSH key authorized to clone code repository

optional

REPO_TAG - checkout specified tag

REPO_REVISION - checkout specified revision

REPO_BRANCH - clone specified branch (defaults to master)

if cloning using repository username/password instead SSH deployment key, please provide REPO_LINK without leading https://
