# 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.
