Git isn't detected inside dev container in visual studio code

Question

Git is not detected when I open dev container in VisualStudio Code even when I cloned the file from GitHub using SSH key.

Docker Desktop is working fine, also Everything is working fine as I can perform build, clean and test.
I cannot commit changes because there is not git repository.

No Git in DevContainer:

Developping inside a container means you need to Open a Git repository or GitHub PR in an isolated container volume# , in order for your container filesystem to mount the right local folder (the one with a .git in it)

Start VS Code and run Remote-Containers: Clone Repository in Container Volume... from the Command Palette (F1).
