I need to clone code while creating docker container not while building image. How can we achieve this or How can we run commands while creating container. I have used CMD git clone "URL" in docker file but is giving error "Option 'c' is unknown. Ignoring" while running container.

  • Why do you want to do this? The command when you create the image is an endpoint and more recommend to run the application. – Charles Xu Apr 29 '20 at 07:53
  • @CharlesXu I explain in details. I need to have online IDE code assessment for students. So I have used code-server as online VS code editor. I need to have different projects to give to students so they will code it and check in the code. So I am trying to clone git project while container creation . – San Apr 29 '20 at 08:41
  • I am planning to create new branch for every students once they start assessment and they can check in code there. You can guide if you have any better solution on this. – San Apr 29 '20 at 08:43
  • @CharlesXu one more thing I tried ```RUN git clone --progress --verbose https://github.com/sanjayme97/dotnet-core-demo.git ``` in docker file but while building git code is not cloning it shows ``removing intermediate container``` and skipping the command. – San Apr 29 '20 at 08:49
  • It just removes the layer, I think it does not affect the image. See the [issue](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48357742/how-to-clone-git-repo-using-dockerfile). – Charles Xu Apr 29 '20 at 09:48
