    ##
    ## Look for SSH agent (install if unavailable)
    ##
    - 'which ssh-agent || ( apt-get update -y && apt-get install openssh-client -y )'

    ##
    ## Run ssh-agent (inside the build environment)
    ##
    - eval $(ssh-agent -s)

    ##
    ## Add the SSH key stored in SSH_PRIVATE_KEY variable to the agent store
    ## SSH_PRIVATE_KEY is the private key that is attached to ionic cloud and 
    ## saved in Settings -> CI / CD -> Secret Variables
    ##
    - echo "$SSH_PRIVATE_KEY" | tr -d '\r' | ssh-add - > /dev/null

    ##
    ## Create the SSH directory and give it the right permissions
    ##
    - mkdir -p ~/.ssh
    - chmod 700 ~/.ssh
    
    ##
    ## Disable strict host key checks for SSH connections (resolves host key rejection from 
    ## the ionic git server not in .ssh/known_hosts)
    ##
    - echo "StrictHostKeyChecking no" >> ~/.ssh/config

    ##
    ## Configure the git user for the Ionic cloud git repo
    ##
    - git config --global user.email "user@email.com"
    - git config --global user.name "Seymour Butz"

    ##
    ## Rebuild the git repo on the application subdirectory
    ##
    - git filter-branch --prune-empty --subdirectory-filter application master
    
    ##
    ## Change Remote location to point to the Ionic cloud repo
    ##
    - git remote remove origin 
    - git remote add origin git@git.ionicjs.com:repository/application.git

    
    ##
    ## Commit changes to repository and force push to master
    ##
    - git push --set-upstream origin master -f
