docker-git-clone

In case of private repositories you also have to mount deployment SSH key authorized to clone code repository

optional

TAG - clone specified tag

BRANCH - clone specified branch (defaults to master)

REPO_KEY - RSA key filename (defaults to id_rsa)

if cloning using repository username/password instead SSH deployment key, please provide REPO_LINK without leading https://
