insight4upublic/git repository overview

⁠docker-git

Minimal Ubuntu 22.04 sandbox container with git functionalities, with some simplified commands.
Functionality: minimal container with vim & git to work on docker images.
Use at own risk, as the username/pass are somewhat exposed in a credentials file.

⁠setup

• At first start of the container, a credentials file will be created in your volume mounted to container path /mnt/repos
  The container will be automatically stopped.

• Complete the ".credentials.txt" file
  No spaces
  If there are symbols like $ in your user and/or pass, use single quotes.

• Restart the container

• Run the docker container and the generated ssh key will be in the docker log.

  docker logs -f git

• add this to your github.com account via Settings -> SSH and GPG keys
  

Now you can connect to the container:

docker exec -it git /bin/bash

and use commands gitpush & dockerpush
First, clone your git repository and edit/modify

    git clone https://github.com/yourgituser/yourgitrepo
    cd yourgitrepo

To enable large file storage:

    git lfs install
    git lfs track yourfolder/yourfileprefix*.extension
    git add .gitattributes

To use 1 command to push to git:

gitpush [comment] [tag]

e.g.

    gitpush
    gitpush "upgraded python" 1.3	
    gitpush "adapted the README.md" main

Create your docker repository on the docker hub.
After that you can build + push from this container

dockerpush <repository>[:tag]

e.g.

    dockerpush yourdockerrepo
    dockerpush yourdockerrepo:1.0
    dockerpush yourdockerrepo:1.1 --purge-images

Or do it all at once with push

push <docker-repository>[:docker-tag]

e.g.

push yourdockerrepo:1.0

⁠environment variables

⁠credentials.txt file will contain the following variables (do not add spaces!)
