Docker: how to build an image from a non-master branch on Github repository
The doc that you quoted itself mentions how you can specify the branch:
github.com/scollier/Fedora-Dockerfiles/tree/master/apache
Change tree/master
to the branch you want and see.
I proposed this question on #docker
at the Freenode IRC and the user scollier
contacted me and he said that he'll get back to me about this issue. I believe he is involved with the Docker documentation that I mentioned in my questions. In the meantime, I found a workaround by adding the following to my Dockerfile
:
RUN git clone something && cd something && git checkout branch
This solution seems to solve all my needs. Thanks for the support!
docker build -t myAccount/myImage https://github.com/myAccount/docker-myImage.git#development
See docker build command reference for more options.
