Unable to clone repository in docker-compose

Problem:

The following command fails in your container because it is an interactive command that expects the user to enter username and password for GitHub. Although this is not the case in your local machine, that is the case inside the container. I don't know the reason for the difference.

git clone https://github.com/MyGithOrg/TestProject /Users/antarr.byrd/go/src/github.com/MyGithOrg/TestProject

Solution:

You can clone your repository through SSH using the following command:

git clone ssh://git@github.com/MyGithOrg/TestProject.git /Users/antarr.byrd/go/src/github.com/MyGithOrg/TestProject

---

Steps:

1. Update your clone command to use SSH like above.

2. If you haven't configured an SSH key in your Github profile, you can follow this documentation to do so.

   ⚠️ Make sure at this step you are able to clone the repo using SSH in your local machine.

3. Update your command in docker-compose file to install an SSH client

   command: > " ls apk add --update alpine-sdk openssh make Tests "

4. If you're using a Mac, then make sure you have IgnoreUnknown UseKeychain above UseKeychain yes in your ~/.ssh/config file.

   ℹ️ The reason is that openssh version that is being installed in your Golang Alpine image does not recognize UseKeychain option and will throw you Bad configuration option: usekeychain error. You can read more about that in this document .

   Example of a correct ~/.ssh/config file:

    Host * AddKeysToAgent yes IgnoreUnknown UseKeychain UseKeychain yes IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa

5. Then update your volumes like below:

    volumes: - type: bind source: ~/go target: /go - type: bind source: . target: /app - ~/.ssh:/root/.ssh

   Note that you no longer need ~/.gitconfig:/root/.gitconfig volume. I also removed your mapping of HOME directory to /root of the container because I still doubt that it might cause issues.

I believe this should work for you now. Cheers !!!
