# SUSE Linux 16.0 with Git: Git application container [-Level_4-Green)](https://documentation.suse.com/sbp/security/html/SBP-SLSA4/) [](https://documentation.suse.com/container/all/html/Container-guide/index.html#container-verify) ## Description Git is a distributed version control system that tracks versions of files. Git is primarily designed for controlling source code in collaborative software development. ## Usage This container provides the SUSE LLC version of Git. Example of using Git container: ```ShellSession $ podman run registry.suse.com/suse/git:2.51 git help ``` As Git requires a repository, the container does not explicitly set an entrypoint. This way, you can launch the container in interactive mode to clone a repository and work on it. The `/workspace` directory is declared as a volume to persist changes. Example with volume mounting for persistence: ```ShellSession $ podman run -it -v $(pwd):/workspace:Z registry.suse.com/suse/git:2.51 git clone <repository-url> ``` Example running as a non-root user: ```ShellSession $ podman run -it --user git --userns=keep-id -v $(pwd):/workspace:Z registry.suse.com/suse/git:2.51 git clone <repository-url> ``` Or with your host user ID: ```ShellSession $ podman run -it --user $(id -u):$(id -g) --userns=keep-id -v $(pwd):/workspace registry.suse.com/suse/git:2.51 git clone <repository-url> ``` ## Cloning Private Repositories To clone private repositories that require SSH authentication, mount your SSH directory into the container: ```ShellSession $ podman run -it --user $(id -u):$(id -g) --userns=keep-id -v $(pwd):/workspace:Z -v ~/.ssh:/workspace/.ssh:Z registry.suse.com/suse/git:2.51 git clone <private-repository-url> ``` Ensure your SSH private key has the correct permissions (e.g., `chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_rsa` on the host) and that your SSH configuration is set up properly. For more use cases and documentation, refer to the [Git SCM documentation](https://git-scm.com/doc). ## Licensing `SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-only` This documentation and the build recipe are licensed as GPL-2.0-only. The container itself contains various software components under various open source licenses listed in the associated Software Bill of Materials (SBOM). This image is based on [SUSE Linux Enterprise Server](https://www.suse.com/products/server/), a reliable, secure, and scalable server operating system built to power mission-critical workloads in physical and virtual environments.
