 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`.
