# docker-git-puller

A docker container that pulls a git repo (updates it) every given amount of time (default 60s) with a shell script.

## Purpose

There are many scenarios where such a container could help. For example (as I use it), this image could be used to pull a hugo built website (living in a public git repo) to a local folder, so that another docker container can serve the most recent files.


## Building

Building this docker image is quite easy. For a quick start, just use this:

```sh
docker build -t git-puller .
```

After this is done successfully, you can check out the new image in your local image store with `docker images`.
