It's a common issue when you want to execute the commands inside the container instance. This feature does not absolutely support on Azure Container Instance. It only supports the single command and it shows here:
Azure Container Instances currently supports launching a single process with az container exec, and you cannot pass command arguments. For example, you cannot chain commands like in sh -c "echo FOO && echo BAR", or execute echo FOO.

@San Yeah, you can connect to the instance first with the command `az container exec -g group_name -n container_name --exec-command "/bin/bash"`, then you can execute the git command inside the instance. – Charles Xu Apr 30 '20 at 03:09
