No I don't want to ;-) You probably meant to say that you wanted to check that? > I could not find one under dockerhub official images > https://hub.docker.com/explore/ I do not think that there is one official Git image. You also have to be more precise than that: do you mean a Linux-based image or a Windows-based one? As far as a Docker image with Git in it: I do not think that this image itself would be useful. So you can fetch Git repositories? What then? What most developers do who need Git in their Docker image is to start with the other requirements: typically a toolchain such as GCC. Or even a stack such as LAMP or MEAN. Personally, I use Docker images as base for the build agents used to perform a few tasks in the Git for Windows project, so they start with the bare-bones Windows image, add the Visual Studio Team Services build agent, and then take things from there. So essentially, I do not think that having a base image just with Git would be useful. It is much more useful to *add* Git to other base images, and that is easily done: Linux (Ubuntu/Debian): sudo apt-get install git Windows: $Version = "2.14.3" $Base = "https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/download/v"; $Url = $Base + $Version + "MinGit-" + $Version + "-64-bit.zip" $Path = "$HOME\Downloads\MinGit.zip" $Dir = "$HOME\MinGit" $WebClient = New-Object System.Net.WebClient $WebClient.DownloadFile($Url, $Path) Add-Type -AssemblyName System.IO.Compression.FileSystem [System.IO.Compression.ZipFile]::ExtractToDirectory($Path, $Dir) Ciao, Johannes
