More secure GitRepo volumes

git-repo-demo.yaml

# Example of using an InitContainer in place of a GitRepo volume.
# Unilke GitRepo volumes, this approach runs the git command in a container,
# with the associated hardening.

This is waht I really wanted!! Thanks! Could you elaborate about git args and securityContextplease..? Or, give a reference about it?

Thanks! It is so helpful

Actually you could replace the

args: ['sleep', '100000']

by:

args: ['tail','-f','/dev/null']

Busybox sleep does not have the sleep forever argument, so that´s a replacement...
