How to use Git command in GitLab-runner?

Question

I’m new to the GitLab CI/CD. I’m having a problem with the continous integration.
This is my config.toml

concurrent = 1
check_interval = 0

[session_server]
  session_timeout = 1800

[[runners]]
  name = "runner-pc"
  url = "https://gitlab.com/"
  token = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
  executor = "docker"
  [runners.custom_build_dir]
  [runners.cache]
    [runners.cache.s3]
    [runners.cache.gcs]
  [runners.docker]
    tls_verify = false
    image = "docker:19.03.1"
    privileged = false
    disable_entrypoint_overwrite = false
    oom_kill_disable = false
    disable_cache = false
    volumes = ["/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock", "/cache"]
    shm_size = 0

Here is my simple .gitlab-ci.yml

stages:
  - test

job1:
  stage: test
  script:
    - docker --version
    - git --version
  tags:
    - ldc
  only:
    - develop

What I was expecting was to see in the pipeline console is: the version of git
The current result is:
/bin/sh: eval: line 90: git: not found
I just want to use some commands line of Git like git diff, git show, ...
Could you give any hint to find this out?
Thanks for your time!

Where are you running this? Does the instance of that environment contain git? — Mike, Apr 05 '20 at 05:08
Where is your repository placed? [GitLab.com](https://gitlab.com) Or local installed GitLab. I asked that because GitLab.com uses image `ruby:latest` when nothing is specified (Like your case) and the image contains installed git. — Amir Dadkhah, Apr 05 '20 at 07:53

Since the default OS of pipeline is Debian, you can try installing Git using apt-get package manager:

stages:
  - test

job1:
  stage: test
  script:
    - apt-get update -qy && apt-get upgrade -qy    # This line used for updating OS repositories
    - apt-get install -y git                       # This command used for installing Git
    - docker --version
    - git --version
  tags:
    - ldc
  only:
    - develop
